The A2 London-bound has fully reopened following a serious four-vehicle crash that caused major delays earlier today between Bean (B255) and junction 2 of the M25 (Darenth Interchange).
Three fire engines were deployed to the scene, where crews worked to isolate the vehicle and manage the situation. Five people involved in the crash were treated at the scene and handed over to South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb) paramedics. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
All traffic was temporarily halted, and vehicles caught within the closure were carefully turned around from the back of the queue. Motorists faced long delays, with congestion stretching back to Gravesend and Tollgate Services.
By 5:30pm, National Highways confirmed the road had fully reopened and traffic began to ease.
