A major collision on the M11 motorway in Essex today between Junction 7 (Harlow) and Junction 6 (M25) has kept it closed southbound and caused significant delays for drivers all around the area. Authorities said that recovery efforts are still underway at the scene. Teams are working to clear the road and get traffic moving again as soon as possible.
Earlier today the incident happened and emergency services showed up fast. Police, ambulance teams, and highway personnel were dispatched to help people who were injured, control the scene, and maintain public safety.
Although the precise events of the collision have not still been completely disclosed, the seriousness of the incident called for a full southbound motorway closure, causing major traffic on nearby routes.
With queues forming quickly during peak travel times, drivers heading toward London and the M25 saw considerable delays. Harlow and adjacent areas have seen traffic flowing onto local roads, which has led to knock-on delays and increased congestion on secondary roads not meant to manage motorway-level volumes. Essex Police and National Highways advised drivers to follow designated detour routes and to stay away from the region wherever feasible.
National Highways released a statement thanking drivers for their patience and noting the interruption. Officials pointed out that recovery work including the removal of trash and broken cars as well as carriageway safety checks is now in progress. Before allowing traffic back onto the roadway, once recovery is finished crews will check whether further checks or repairs are necessary.
Authorities hoped that traffic would start flowing again once the scene was enough cleared for drivers now stuck within the closure. They cautioned, though, that the pace of recovery and safety checks will influence the timing of reopenings. Drivers are advised to follow traffic officers on site, keep emergency lanes clear, and stay in their cars unless directed differently.
Although no formal update on injuries has yet been issued, events of this kind usually call for thorough inquiry to determine what transpired and whether more action is necessary. Before providing more information, police will usually analyze scene evidence including witness accounts and vehicle locations.
The closure underlines the broader consequences motorway collisions may have, especially on important commuter routes like the M11, which is a key connection between Cambridge, Harlow, and London. One event may have cascading consequences on the local road system, impacting tens of thousands of drivers and nearby areas.
