by Helen Austin, Travel PresenterThe clockwise closure of the M25 in Essex is going to be a nightmare for drivers this morning and will no doubt add significant extra time to your journey.

This means that the carriageway will need to be resurfaced once the accident investigation works have been completed.
The Highways Agency have suggested that the carriageway will remain closed until early afternoon so long delays on the M25 and surrounding routes can be expected. It's therefore advisable to try and find an alternative route if you can.

I have been pressing the Libyans, I have been pressing the UK Government for this to happen and suddenly it has so it's very good news indeed.
They all knew the story about Yvonne Fletcher - I was completely amazed.
Young people, young guys, young women, they all knew about her and they all want justice for her.
Not just for Yvonne but the Libyans themselves.
