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.
