Police are appealing for witnesses, information and dashcam footage following a serious road traffic collision on the M25 near Rickmansworth.
The incident occurred at around 2pm on Sunday, July 2, on the anti-clockwise carriageway between Junction 16 and 17 heading towards Heathrow.
It is reported that a white HGV lorry and a silver Volkswagen Passat Sport were in collision.
