Chaos on the A2 in Kent: Eastbound Road Closed After Car-Lorry Crash
The A2 eastbound in Kent is shut between the A256 West (Sandwich Road, Whitfield) and the A256 East (Honeywood Parkway) following a collision involving a car and a lorry.
Fuel Spill Sparks Major Delay
Adding to the chaos, a massive 400-litre fuel spill covers the carriageway. The stretch is expected to remain closed for several hours while crews clear the mess.
Kent Police and Traffic Diversions in Place
Kent Police are at the scene managing the situation. Drivers heading towards Dover are being redirected with a complex local diversion:
- Exit A2 at Whitfield.
- At the roundabout, take the 4th exit onto A256 Whitfield Hill southbound.
- At the next roundabout with A256 London Road, take the first exit continuing south.
- Turn left at the A20 junction, then head east towards Dover.
Motorists are urged to plan for heavy delays and follow these diversion routes carefully.
