A motorcyclist has died following a crash on the M25 in Essex.

Police were called to a collision on the motorway’s clockwise carriageway near junction 26 for Waltham Abbey at about 1.35pm on Wednesday.

Paramedics were also called but the male rider, 30, died at the scene.

The road was closed for several hours while the emergency services worked and an investigation took place, Essex Police said.

Officers are appealing for dashcam footage from witnesses who have not already spoken to them.

The force did not say how may vehicles it believed were involved.
