Why are crashes so disruptive?
Motorway crashes, especially serious ones, often lead to lengthy closures for several reasons. Police need to investigate the scene thoroughly, and emergency services must clear debris and ensure the road is safe before reopening. This M25 incident, requiring closure for most of the morning, shows the significant impact even after initial investigations conclude.
