There are heavy tailbacks on the M25 clockwise at its Romford junction with the A127 this morning after a lorry tipped over on the slip road.
Queues are now back to around five miles as one lane is closed due to a fuel spillage.
Essex Police and Highways England are on the scene.
There are no details yet of any injuries.
Essex Police have been contacted for comment.
