Man Rushed to Hospital After Two-Lorry Smash on M2 Causes Chaos
A man has been taken to hospital following a nasty collision involving two lorries on the M2 this morning. The crash, which happened just before 8am, has sparked major delays on the coastbound carriageway.
Crash Closes Three Lanes Between Strood and Rochester
Emergency services, including Kent Police and paramedics, raced to the scene at 7:47am after the accident between Junction 2 (A228 Sundridge Hill for Strood) and Junction 3 (Chatham and Rochester).
Three of the four lanes remain shut, causing tailbacks stretching six miles back to Junction 1. The Wainscott bypass is also jammed as drivers face long delays.
“We were called to a collision involving two lorries on the coastbound carriageway of the M2 between junctions 2 and 3,” a Kent Police spokesperson said. “Officers and paramedics attended the scene, where a man was treated for injuries and taken to a local hospital for further medical attention.”
Major Delays Expected – Drivers Urged to Avoid the Area
Recovery work is ongoing, but the affected lanes are set to stay closed for several hours. Motorists are advised to steer clear of the stretch between Strood and Rochester if possible to avoid being caught in the gridlock.
