Morning commuters have been hit by long tailbacks on the M25 as a broken down van has stopped traffic.

The Ford Transit broke down around 6am this morning (January 16) and has caused long delays on the M25 clockwise at junction 5 at Sevenoaks.

One lane had to be closed down, which was enough to leave morning drivers waiting up to 45 minutes to pass through the section of motorway.

The disruption is expected to continue until around 9am.
