A MAJOR crash on the M25 which involved up to eight vehicles has caused traffic chaos – with selfish drivers blocking ambulances from accessing the site of the smash.
The incident took place between Junction 5 and 6 on the anti-clockwise carriageway in Godstone, Kent this morning.
Traffic was totally stationary, leading to significant delays for motorists however the road has since reopened.
Highways England tweeted out: “We’re in the process of clearing the collision and lifting the closure on the #M25 anti-clockwise between J6 (#Godstone) and J5 (#A21/#M26).
“We’ll let you know when it’s all open. Thanks for your patience today #Surrey.”
Frustrated motorists hit out at fellow road users stuck in the traffic jam for blocking the emergency outside lane.
As a result, 999 services struggled to access the incident.
One user wrote on Twitter: “Massive accident on the M25, so they shut one lane so emergency services can get to the casualties quicker and the amount of absolute d******ds driving up and blocking the lane just because they are too selfish to think where they are going is more important than someone’s life!”
Another posted: “So angry at selfish motorists for ignoring lane closed, accident signs & blocking 999 services.
“Should be a motoring offence.”
