Five mile queues on the M25 at the Dartford Crossing have been caused by 'spillage from a lorry'.

Lane one of four was closed on the clockwise section, just before Junction 1A, A282/ A206 Crossways Boulevard/ B3228 Swanscombe.

Congestion is backed up to Junction 30 of the A13 at Lakeside.

The spillage has occured in the same area as the roadworks, just after the end of the QE2 bridge.

All lanes have now been re-opened.
