M20 closed in both directions after HGV lorry cab falls from bridge

The M20 has been closed in both directions this morning after a serious crash involving an HGV near Wrotham.

Emergency services were called after a lorry cab became detached from its trailer and reportedly fell from an overbridge onto the London-bound carriageway.

National Highways has confirmed that the motorway is:

  • Closed London-bound between Junction 3 (M26 interchange) and Junction 1 (Swanley)

  • Closed coastbound between Junction 2 (A20, Wrotham Brands Hatch) and Junction 3

Traffic is being diverted via local routes, with significant delays expected across Kent and South East London during the morning rush hour.
