A Surrey Police spokesperson said: “There is currently a full closure of all four lanes of the M25 anticlockwise between Junction 6 and Junction 5. Water Lane is also closed northbound after the junction with Park Road.
“These closures are likely to remain in place for several hours while we gather the evidence required for our investigation into the collision.
“We appreciate that this will unavoidably cause disruption for motorists and apologise for the inconvenience. Officers are working hard to get the lanes reopened as soon as possible.”
The driver was rushed to hospital and is receiving medical treatment. No other injuries were reported, according to Surrey Police.
The force has urged any witnesses with CCTV, dashcam or helmet cam footage of the incident to get in touch by quoting PR/45240037450 via their website or 101.
