The M25 was closed for about 12 hours after a crane collapsed on the motorway.

The crane was later removed and The Road resurfaced. The clockwise carriageway re-opened at 04:00 GMT, and anti-clockwise at 07:00 GMT.
One lane remained closed in both directions to repair the central reservation, but there were no delays.
