Live M25 traffic updates as motorway blocked in both directions after 'van and car' horror crash

A horror crash on the M25 has blocked the motorway in both directions as drivers have been warned to avoid the area. Accident investigation work is underway after the crash is believed to have involved a car and a van and has been described by police as a 'serious road traffic collison.'

Traffic site Inrix said: "M25 in both directions closed, slow traffic due to accident investigation work between J21A A405 North Orbital Road (St Albans) and J22 A1081 (St Albans / London Colney).

"A van and a car collided Anticlockwise just before 04:00 but both sides are closed and are likely to stay shut until lunchtime at least.

"Diversion - using the A414 past Saint Albans and London Colney with Anticlockwise following the hollow square symbols and Clockwise following the hollow triangle symbols which is very slow."

Hertfordshire Police told The Metro : ‘The M25 is currently closed between junctions 22 ( London Colney) and 21A (North Orbital Road/St Albans). ‘This is while emergency services deal with a serious road traffic collision. Motorists are asked to avoid the area.’

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday.

This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
