A multi-vehicle collision on the M2 London-bound resulted in a complete road closure on Monday, following a harrowing incident that involved six vehicles. The accident occurred just before 1 PM, amidst treacherous weather conditions as a sudden and severe snowstorm swept through various parts of Kent.
The emergency response to this incident was substantial, with the Kent Fire and Rescue Service, the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb), and the Kent Police all called to the scene shortly after 12:49 PM, following reports of the collision.
While the exact cause of the accident is yet to be determined, it is believed that the sudden and severe snowstorm played a critical role in the incident. To ensure the safety of emergency responders and the public, as well as to facilitate the clear-up and investigation process, a complete road closure was implemented.
At this time, specific details regarding injuries or casualties resulting from the collision remain unclear. Emergency services are working diligently at the scene, and additional information is anticipated as the situation unfolds.
Motorists are strongly advised to avoid the affected area and seek alternative routes, as significant delays are expected due to the closure of the M2. This major road artery into London will likely experience widespread traffic disruptions, affecting travel plans for many.
