AN OVERTURNED lorry on the M11 next to where it crosses the M25 near Epping is causing major traffic delays this afternoon.

It is believed the lorry blew over in the wind on the northbound carriageway near junction six late this morning.

The M11 is closed northbound along with the entry slip road from the M25 clockwise.

There are also tailbacks on the M25 and through Epping itself, especially on the High Road.

Two fire crews from Brentwood and one from Waltham Abbey attended the scene.

The lorry's driver was taken away by ambulance crews. Information is not yet available on his condition.
