The M2 westbound is completely shut from J5 A249 (Sittingbourne/Stockbury Roundabout) to J4 A278 Hoath Way (Gillingham) after a horrific car crash.
Car Flips and Bursts Into Flames
Around 1pm, a car smashed into the central barrier just past Medway Services, flipped over, and caught fire. Emergency crews rushed to the scene, but the road remains closed as they deal with the aftermath.
Traffic Chaos and Long Delays
- Heavy queues building along the stretch.
- Expect major delays – the closure could last for hours.
- A signed diversion is in place via the M20 to J4 Leybourne, then back to Strood.
Drivers are strongly urged to avoid the area and find alternative routes to dodge the gridlock.
