A woman who was seriously injured in a camper van crash on the M25 has died in hospital overnight.

Police have launched a fresh appeal for information about the horror crash following the woman's death.

The crash happened at around 11.20am on Thursday (March 26) on the M25 near to the junction with the M40 between junction 16 and 17 going in a clockwise direction.

A silver Ford Transit van and a red Citroen Berlingo camper van crashed into each other.

The woman - who was in her forties - was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries but she has tragically passed away.

Her next of kin have been informed and are being supported by officers.

The driver of the Transit van was not injured.

Investigating officer Sergeant Matthew Cadmore of the Joint Operations Unit for Roads Policing, based at Taplow, said: “Very sadly, the woman who was involved in this collision died in hospital yesterday.

“Our thoughts are with the woman's family at this desperately difficult time.

“I am re-appealing for anyone who saw either the Transit van or the camper van before the collision to please make contact with police.

“The roads were not as busy as they would normally be, but we do believe that a number of people will have witnessed this collision.

“Anybody who was driving in the area, can I ask you to please check your dash-cam footage and contact police if it has captured anything that can assist with this investigation."
