Serious Crash Shuts Down A20 Fougeres Way in Kent
Motorists in Kent are in for a rough afternoon after a serious accident forced authorities to shut the A20 Fougeres Way in both directions. The closure covers the stretch between M20 Junction 8 (Leeds Castle / Maidstone Services, Harrietsham) and M20 Junction 9 (Ashford).
Emergency Crews on Scene as Traffic Grinds to a Halt
Emergency services are battling to clear the wreckage, but traffic is quickly building up both ways. Drivers are being diverted away from the crash site, causing heavy congestion on surrounding roads. Authorities have yet to confirm how many vehicles are involved or if there are any injuries.
Warnings and Advice for Drivers
“There is heavy congestion on surrounding roads due to the full closure of the A20. Please allow extra time for your journey and consider avoiding the route entirely if possible,” a traffic spokesperson said.
There is no estimated time for reopening yet. Recovery efforts are expected to take a while, so drivers should plan alternative routes now.
