Second Crash Sparks Chaos on M2 Hours After Reopening
Just hours after the London-bound M2 carriageway reopened, a serious new crash has sparked lengthy delays near Medway services. The motorway section had only just reopened following a nearly 10-hour closure due to a fatal collision near Sittingbourne.
Van Overturns, Major Clear-Up Underway
The latest incident involved a long wheelbase grey Ford Transit van that flipped onto its roof after smashing into barriers and road furniture. Thankfully, the driver escaped with minor injuries, but emergency teams had to close the motorway briefly to give assistance.
National Highways and contractors are now on the scene conducting a major clean-up operation. They’re removing damaged barriers, trees, and mud from the carriageway and hard shoulder. Part of the hard shoulder remains coned off as work continues.
Traffic Chaos as Drivers Slow to Watch
Motorists face heavy delays as traffic slows to rubberneck the recovery efforts. With both incidents hitting the same stretch of motorway within hours, frustration is mounting for commuters trying to reach London.
