Drivers Warned to Approach With Caution Amid Heavy Traffic
Traffic is grinding to a halt on the M20 and M26 in Kent this afternoon after a car veered off the motorway and ended up on an embankment. The crash has happened on the coastbound M20 between junctions 2a and 3, close to where the M26 merges in.
Delays Backed Up After Car Leaves Road
One lane remains closed while emergency crews and National Highways work at the scene. Congestion is piling up, snarling traffic on both motorways, with delays already hitting 15 minutes or more. Drivers have been urged to “approach with caution” as the aftermath clears.
