Three Arrested After M25 Multi‑Car Crash as Flooding and M60 Fatality Prolong UK Motorway Disruption

Officers warn of prolonged delays as they seek dashcam footage from motorists.

Overview

  • Surrey Police arrested three men on suspicion of dangerous driving after a multi‑vehicle collision on the M25 anticlockwise between junctions 9 and 8, with one person taken to hospital and delays expected into the evening.
  • Investigators appealed for footage showing the driving of a black Audi, a blue Cupra and a silver or grey BMW before the M25 crash; all lanes later reopened following earlier full closures.
  • Greater Manchester Police confirmed a man was found unconscious near M60 junction 27 late on Friday and was pronounced dead at the scene, prompting an overnight closure between junctions 1 and 25 until about 5.05am.
  • National Highways reported ongoing flooding on the M62 eastbound between junctions 11 and 12, with two lanes closed and multi‑mile queues, alongside a separate welfare hold near junctions 18–19 and a vehicle fire between junctions 21–22.
  • Recent incidents also included an M5 southbound closure after a crash involving a West Midlands Police vehicle that left three people with injuries not believed to be serious, and A500 repairs in Barthomley following a two‑car fire that damaged the carriageway.
