A major fire has forced the closure of the M20 in Kent, causing significant traffic delays and road closures between Junction 10A (Ashford) and Junction 11 (Westenhanger). The incident, involving a lorry fire, has prompted a rapid response, with helicopters now on-site as the situation unfolds. The road remains fully closed, and drivers are being urged to avoid the area as emergency services work to manage the blaze.
[block_2]Witnesses on the scene, including one motorist’s daughter who is stuck in the traffic, report that the closure may last for several hours, with no current estimate on when the road will reopen.
We hope all those involved in the incident remain safe as emergency crews continue to address the situation.
