Chaos on M20 Westbound After Midnight Crash

Motorists in Kent face major delays after a serious collision shut the M20 Westbound between Junction 3 (M26) and Junction 2 near Wrotham shortly after midnight. The carriageway remains closed while emergency crews tackle the scene.

Emergency Services Rush to the Scene

Kent Police, Fire and Rescue, South East Coast Ambulance, and National Highways Traffic Officers are all on-site managing the fallout and ensuring everyone’s safety. Drivers should brace for significant disruption as efforts continue.

Follow Diversions or Expect Long Delays

Road users are warned to expect hold-ups and plan alternative routes. A clear diversion is in place; follow the hollow square signs to dodge the closure:

  1. Leave the M20 at Junction 3 onto the M26 westbound.
  2. Stay on the M26 to Junction 2a.
  3. Exit at Junction 2a onto the A20 towards London.
  4. Rejoin the M20 at Junction 2.

Allow extra travel time and think about delaying trips if possible.
