Non-cycling crashes that deserve attention

There are huge tailbacks on the M25 after it was partially closed due
to a serious collision between a pedestrian and a car around midday on
Thursday.

Both sections of the major motorway was closed between J29 for
Hornchurch and J28 for Brentwood as emergency services responded to
the scene.

Despite The Standard no longer being printed, I can't believe this literal* car crash of language gets published online by a supposed journalist.
