M2 Shuts After Horror Crash – Massive Delays Hit Kent
The M2 eastbound is BLOCKED from Junction 5 to Junction 6 after a nasty crash. Drivers face at least 30 minutes of delays stretching for miles.
Crash Details & Diversion Route
The closure is due to a serious collision involving an overturned vehicle. Kent Fire and Rescue, paramedics, and police rushed to the scene.
Here’s how to dodge the hold-up:
- Exit at Junction 5 and follow signs marked with a black circle.
- Take the A249 southbound to Junction 7 of the M20.
- Join the M20 eastbound towards the coast.
- Leave the M20 at Junction 8 and follow the A20 eastbound to Charing.
- Switch onto the A252 Faversham Road eastbound.
- Turn left at the A251 junction and head north to rejoin the M2 at Junction 6.
Emergency Rescue Drama
An off-duty doctor and off-duty police officer already at the scene gave life-saving first aid to the trapped victims. Firefighters used hydraulic cutters to remove a car door and a B-post, freeing two people stuck inside.
Both casualties were carefully taken out on longboards and handed over to the South East Coast Ambulance Service for urgent care.
The M2 closure is expected to last for some time. Stay tuned for updates!
