Early-morning commuters on the M25 were met with an unusual obstacle on their journey this morning - a boat.

An outside lane on junction eight and entry slip road from Reigate in Surrey were closed from about 4am due to a collision involving the speedboat and a lorry.

Long delays were reported at 7.15am clockwise between junctions six and eight as a result of the collision. 

The slip road was also reported to be closed. 

Highways England have been at the junction for the past three hours working to remove the lorry and boat.
