THE M25 is blocked in the clockwise direction between the junctions for Orpington and Sevenoaks due to fuel spillage and a broken down lorry.

Vehicles are advised to avoid the area due to the vehicle which is on the hard shoulder just before J5 M26/ A21 (Sevenoaks), heading towards Gatwick.

It has left a half mile long spillage in lane one, which needs to be sanded and swept up.
