A driver has suffered a broken leg in a crash which closed the clockwise carriageway of the M25 in the early hours of Tuesday.

The crash involved a Golf, a Mercedes car and a Mercedes articulated lorry, and happened between junction five for the A21 and junction six at Godstone, at 03:10 BST, National Highways said.

National Highways said all three lanes reopened about 07:30.

The M26 westbound was closed between junction two for the A20 and the junction with the M25 following the incident, but reopened at 08:30.

Traffic data firm Inrix said earlier there had also been three miles of queing traffic on the M20 as traffic diverted from the M26.

M25 traffic had been diverted via the A21, A22 and A25, with earlier delays of about an hour approaching the scene on the clockwise carriageway, going back to junction two for Dartford.

At the time of the incident lanes one to three were closed for roadworks, with the crash happening in the single lane, lane four, which was still open, National Highways said.

The family of a detained Albanian migrant say they want answers about how he died.

Alfred Dosku died in hospital in Redhill, Surrey, on 17 November 2023 after he was found by immigration centre staff, who attempted to resuscitate him.

A jury inquest at Horsham Coroner’s Court, West Sussex, will be held into the death of the 37-year-old.

Mr Dosku’s cousin, Ledisa Hysa Dosku, said: “We only want to know what happened.”

During a pre-inquest review, senior coroner Penelope Schofield said the inquest would explore issues surrounding his death.

Ms Hysa Dosku said her cousin was “very bright”, adding the family didn’t understand how he ended up at the immigration centre.

“The last talk with his brother, he felt when he spoke with him, he was ready to come back. He was ready to be united with his family,” she said.

She added that Mr Dosku’s death was “completely not understandable”.

Legal representation for the government and Serco were also present at the hearing, which set a further pre-inquest review for June.

Practice Plus Group, a healthcare provider which assessed Mr Dosku on his arrival at the facility and had staff involved in the resuscitation attempts, will also be invited to be represented at the inquest.

The inquest is being planned to take place by December this year on a date to be decided.

Decommissioned fire helmets transformed into works of art for a charity exhibition have gone on display in Sussex.

The 25 helmets now on display at Worthing Town Hall, West Sussex, will be auctioned off to raise money for The Fire Fighters Charity, West Sussex County Council (WSCC) said.

Each helmet has previously been worn by a firefighter attending an incident for West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (WSFRS).

More than 60 designs were submitted by artists for consideration during the project.

Assistant chief fire officer Peter Rickard from WSFRS told BBC Radio Sussex: “Our fire helmets are so important to the role we do.

“You have some good times in them and some challenging times but to see them all transformed into artwork and all the different designs absolutely blows your mind.”

Mr Rickard donated his former helmet which he wore during his service at the Croydon tram derailment with the London Fire Brigade.

Artist Roger Moore, a former firefighter with the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, said: ” It’s the one thing that protects you through your whole career so it means a hell of a lot and when I was working on this helmet I was thinking about what it went through.”

The Fire Fighters Charity, which offers support and rehabilitation for firefighters and their families, says it is “incredibly excited” about the exhibition.

The “Ashes to Art 2024” exhibition runs at Worthing Town Hall between 16 and 19 April .
