UMVA has learned that a devastating crash on the M25 near Chertsey has left two motorbike riders seriously injured, with emergency services rushing them to hospital by air.
The accident, which occurred on the clockwise carriageway, has prompted Surrey Police to appeal for witnesses and dashcam footage, particularly focusing on the riders' movements prior to the collision.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the slip road from the M25 junction 12 onto the M3 remains closed as police continue their investigation into the incident.
Surrey Police are urging anyone with relevant footage or information to come forward, saying they are "particularly interested in tracing the movements of the riders prior to the collision" and would like to speak to anyone who saw a group of motorcycle riders on the M25 in the minutes beforehand.
The force initially reported that officers were on the scene, and they requested that drivers avoid the area while they responded to the incident, thanking the public for their patience.
National Highways has warned of significant delays, with congestion exceeding 33 minutes and stretching for 3 miles on the approach to the crash scene, and tailbacks building up towards junction 10 for the A3.
The closure of the affected slip road, a key route for drivers heading to attractions like Thorpe Park and Thorpe Lakes, is expected to continue while police carry out their investigation.
This incident follows another chaotic day on the roads, as back-to-back multi-vehicle crashes on the M11 near Stansted caused mayhem, with one serious collision involving two lorries and a van near the Essex and Cambridgeshire border.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that traffic was severely impacted, with slow-moving traffic reported on the approach to the crash scene and in the opposite direction.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the motorway was severely congested, with drivers facing lengthy delays.
