Two people have been caught on camera dicing with death by running across the M25 to avoid queuing.

A motorist stuck in traffic approaching the Dartford Crossing caught the pair as they stood in the central reservation.

After a few moments they dash across all the lanes, with cars hurtling towards them at 70mph.

The man reportedly crossed again to get some bags out of a car and also had to manoeuvre his way through the stationary traffic going anti-clockwise.

It was caught at around 9pm on Friday night and posted to Twitter.

The delays were due to a crash on the northbound A282 approaching the Dartford Crossing.

Firefighters released a woman trapped in her vehicle, which had overturned following a crash involving a car and a roadside safety barrier.

Two passengers in the overturned vehicle and another occupant of the second vehicle involved had been freed before crews arrived.

Emergency services were called at 7pm, and had made the area safe by 8.20pm.
