Sussex drivers who are planning to travel north this weekend are being warned of delays after the M25 was closed clockwise in Surrey between junction 8 in Reigate, Surrey, and Junction ten in Wisley, Surrey.

Sergeant Andy Audsley from the Roads Policing Team said: “We are trying to establish how the woman, who was a pedestrian, came to be injured in the carriageway. We believe that she may have been involved at some stage in a collision with a vehicle that did not stop at the scene.

“We are asking anyone who saw the woman who was wearing a maroon coat and trousers to call us immediately on 101 quoting P20048965”.

A Surrey Police spokesman said the road will be closed to allow a thorough investigation to take place and 'would advise drivers to follow diversion signs that are in place', thanking them for their patience.
