A249 Screams to a Halt as Van Smashes into Central Barrier
Rush Hour Chaos: Miles of Gridlock
The A249 is completely gridlocked, with traffic stretched for five to seven miles after a white Ford Transit van crashed into the central barrier during Thursday evening’s rush hour. Rush-hour commuters are trapped in a jam that shows no signs of easing soon.
Hundreds of Cars Stranded at Key Junction
The traffic nightmare is hitting the dual carriageway connecting the M2 to Sittingbourne and the Isle of Sheppey via the Stockbridge roundabout. Hundreds of vehicles are stuck, with drivers having no choice but to remain stuck nose-to-tail in a stop-start nightmare.
Emergency Crews Rush to Scene
Paramedics and Kent Roads Policing officers were quick on the scene. Miraculously, the van driver escaped serious injury, though his vehicle was left wrecked and perched on the central barrier. Recovery teams are now working hard to clear the wreck and ease the snarled traffic.
More updates to follow as the story develops.
