Multi-Car Smash Clogs M2 Westbound Near Sittingbourne
Drivers on the M2 westbound towards London are stuck in snarling traffic this morning after a three-car collision sparked chaos between Junction 6 (Faversham) and Junction 5 (Sittingbourne).
The crash, smack in the middle of the stretch, has left one lane partially blocked. This has triggered a two-mile-long tailback and slow-moving queues stretching both ways, thanks in part to rubberneckers gawping at the wreckage.
