Commuters using the Dartford Crossing are set for rush hour misery as a reported crash this afternoon has caused delays of up to an hour and a half.
A collision involving three vehicles was reported between Junction 31 and Junction 1A of the M25 and closed the east bore tunnel shortly after 3pm.
As of 5pm, the east tunnel of the crossing has since reopened but Highways England expects delays to remain in place for "more than an hour".
Northbound traffic on the M25 is currently backed up as far as Sevenoaks.
It is understood nobody was seriously injured in the earlier crash.
