A vehicle left the M25 after a collision on Saturday and landed on the road below it.
Two vehicles collided on the motorway after hitting standing water at speed before one came off the road before the barrier. The incident occurred between the Godstone and Sevenoaks junctions at the Water Lane bridge. Water Lane, which passes under the M25 at Titsey near Oxted, was closed while the driver was rescued and the vehicle recovered.
Surrey Police report that both drivers escaped with minor injuries.

The Crawley Day Surgery Unit team has moved back to Crawley Hospital.
The team was redeployed to East Surrey Hospital in March to help with the Coronavirus effort. Staff were sent to various areas including intensive care, theatres and the emergency department. The team had just a day and a half to clear the unit at Crawley Hospital taking only essential equipment to East Surrey.
Since March, the theatres in the Crawley Day Surgery Unit have been rewired and parts of the unit have been upgraded.
The Ward Manager and Chief Executive of the Hospital Trust have paid tribute to the staff involved.
Surrey police officers have thanked anonymous residents who left flowers on their car while they visited vulnerable residents in Reigate and Banstead.
Two small bouquets were left on the windscreen of vehicle.
In a message on Twitter, Surrey police officers thanked the unknown gift givers adding, “we are all in this together”.
