M2 Crash Chaos: London-Bound Lane Shuts After Serious Two-Car Smash

M2 Westbound Closed Due to Major Collision

The M2’s London-bound carriageway between Faversham and Sittingbourne is shut this morning following a serious two-car crash. Emergency services rushed to the scene, with National Highways warning the closure will last well into the afternoon.

Long Delays Expected: Police Confirm Extended Closure

A National Highways spokesperson 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 site.”

“Due to the severity of this incident, the road is likely to be closed for an extended period of time. It is likely that the carriageway will remain closed throughout the morning and into the afternoon.”

Traffic Chaos: Drivers Face Complex Diversions

Motorists are being rerouted via the A251 from Faversham, then onto the A252, M20, and A249 before rejoining the M2. Expect heavy traffic and delays on these alternative routes as emergency crews continue their work.
