Crash Chaos on M20 and M26: Drivers Face Heavy Delays
Traffic on the M20 and M26 in Kent has ground to a painful halt this afternoon. A car has smashed off the coastbound M20 between junctions 2a and 3, ending up stranded on an embankment near where the M26 joins in.
One Lane Shut, Queues Grow
Emergency crews and National Highways teams are working hard at the scene. One lane remains closed, causing snarling congestion back onto both motorways. Delays are already hitting 15 minutes or more, and the gridlock shows no signs of easing soon.
Drivers have been urged to “approach with caution” as the clean-up gets underway.
What We Know So Far
- The crash was first reported shortly after 1:30pm today (February 6).
- The car left the carriageway and came to rest on an embankment.
- Details on injuries remain unclear, with emergency services yet to comment.
- Kent County Council’s highways team warns motorists to brace for ongoing delays.
