The prison van collided with a white van at around 6.50pm yesterday on the anti-clockwise carriageway of the M25 between Dartford and Swanley, junctions two and three.

Dartford fire fighters confirmed they helped rescue the prisoner who was trapped in the van at about 7.40pm.

One lane was closed for more than two hours.

All lanes reopened at 9.35pm.
