THE Highways Agency is warning drivers to take care in the wet conditions.

It says there is "skid risk" on the M20 and M2 motorways because of heavy rainfall overnight and this morning.

It is also informing drivers of severe congestion on the M25 between J5 and J6 in both directions. Due to an earlier accident and heavy traffic there are delays of up to 20 minutes.

There are also delays of 10 minutes north of the Dartford Crossing between J28 and J27 on the M25 caused by heavy traffic.

It is hoped conditions on both stretches will clear in the next hour.
