Major Disruption on M11 Following Lorry Collision
A serious incident involving two heavy goods vehicles has caused significant disruption on the M11 motorway this morning. The collision occurred near Harlow, leading to long delays for commuters and commercial traffic during the morning rush hour.
Incident Details and Traffic Impact
According to the traffic monitoring service Inrix, the accident happened at approximately 9:15 am. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene between Junction 7 for the A414 London Road and Junction 6 for the M25 at J27. As a result of the collision, one lane has been closed to allow for recovery and investigation work. One of the lorries involved remains stationed on the hard shoulder.
The closure has created a bottleneck effect, causing congestion that is affecting travel in the area. Drivers are experiencing much longer journey times than usual.
Current Situation and Travel Advice
Motorists are being strongly advised to avoid the area if possible and to seek alternative routes. The residual delays are expected to last for several hours as recovery operations continue and traffic clears. Commuters using this key route into and around London should plan for extended travel times for the remainder of the morning.
