Drivers told to 'avoid area' after man seriously injured in M25 crash

Drivers told to 'avoid area' after man seriously injured in M25 crash describes a serious collision on the M25 in Surrey, prompting an extended road closure. The crash occurred shortly before 10:00 a.m. on June 24, between Junctions 6 and 7 near Bletchingley, involving a white Mercedes Vito van and a white lorry. The van driver, a man in his 30s, suffered serious injuries; he was treated at the scene before being airlifted to hospital. Police and emergency services, along with National Highways, remained at the scene while a recovery operation began. National Highways engineers are assessing an oil spill that damaged the road surface to determine when the clockwise carriageway can reopen. The exit slip road at Junction 6 reopened, and traffic diversion is via the M26 and local roads. Surrey Police asks witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
