Emergency services rushed to the scene between Junction 6 (Faversham) and Junction 5 (Sittingbourne). National Highways confirmed the motorway closure will last well into the afternoon.
Road Closure Causes Major Delays
A National Highways spokesman said: “The M2 is closed westbound between Junction 6 for Faversham and Junction 5 for Sittingbourne due to a serious collision involving two vehicles. Emergency services, including police, are on the scene.
“Due to the severity of this incident, the road is likely to be closed for an extended period of time, throughout the morning and into the afternoon.”
