An 11-year old child has been “very seriously” injured in a Bank Holiday horror crash on the M25.
Footage posted to social media shows a Mini Cooper smashed into the central barrier of the busy motorway at the time of the collision at 3.41pm on Monday.
The driver, 45, and a 13-year-old passenger are also in hospital being treated for minor injuries.
An air ambulance landed between junctions 6 and 5, near Godstone and Caterham causing three miles of queues in both directions.
A Surrey Police spokesman said: “We are appealing for witnesses following a collision on the M25 that left an 11-year-old child with serious injuries.
“Officers were called to a single vehicle collision on the anticlockwise carriageway of the M25 between Junction 5 and Junction 6. South East Coast Ambulance Service and the Air Ambulance also attended to provide medical treatment to the injured parties at the roadside.
“The 45-year-old driver and a 13-year-old passenger were treated for minor injuries, and an 11-year-old child has been taken to hospital with very serious injuries.”
