Two lanes are closed on the M25 after 200 litres of fluid, believed to be hydraulic fluid, was spilt after a lorry broke down.

Lanes one and two on the anti-clockwise M25 between 16 (Uxbridge) and 17 (Maple Cross) are closed after the vehicle broke down about 2.30pm this afternoon.

Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue said the vehicle was a highways maintenance lorry and are on scene. Delays are likely while the clear-up operation takes place.
