Severe delays are affecting traffic on the M25 clockwise between Epping and Waltham Abbey.
An earlier accident blocked the road between the J26 for the A121 and J27 for the M11, and traffic was stationary at around 7.20am.
The accident has now cleared but congestion is still affecting commuters.
Traffic is also queuing anti-clockwise between J24 and J23, where one lane is closed following an earlier accident.
