A video showing people climbing out the back of a lorry in the middle of traffic has emerged.

The footage sees a man open the back door of the vehicle, before five people, thought to be migrants, quickly scramble out.

The lorry was on the M25 this morning near the Dartford Tunnel, just before turning for Bob Dunn Way.

Phil Brown, who filmed the shocking scene, shared it on Twitter with the caption: "Look what happened in front of me on the M25 this morning".

Kent Police and the Home Office have been contacted for comments.
