The crash involved a blue Audi A4 and a black Infiniti M35h but it is thought other as yet unidentified vehicles may also have been involved.

Drivers were left in queues stretching back eight miles while police and ambulance crews cleared the road and treated the victim, who was taken to King's College Hospital in London by land ambulance.

The road did not reopen until shortly after 10pm.
