A lorry driver arrested after a fatal multi-vehicle collision on the M25 near Aveley yesterday afternoon has been released without charge.
The 43-year-old, originally from Poland, was detained after the incident, which took place between junctions 29 and 30 at around 12.30pm.
One person, a man in his 70s from east London, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two others were airlifted to The Royal London Hospital and a number of others were treated at the scene.
The collision resulted in long delays for motorists after part of the carriageway was shut beyond yesterday's rush hour.
A 58-year-old man from Germany remains in police custody in connection with the incident.
