Serious Crash Closes M20 Westbound in Kent

The M20 is shut westbound between J7 and J6 following a major collision involving a van. Emergency crews are at the scene tackling the chaos.

Heavy Delays and Diversions in Place

Drivers heading towards London are forced onto lengthy detours marked by the hollow square diversion symbol. Here’s the route to follow:

  • Exit the M20 at Junction 7 onto the A249 northbound.
  • Continue on the A249 to Junction 5 of the M2 at Stockbury.
  • Join the M2 London-bound, travelling to Junction 2.
  • Exit the M2 at Junction 2 onto the northbound A228.
  • Follow the A228 until reaching Junction 4 of the M20 to rejoin the motorway.

Expect delays and drive carefully through the diversion. Officials warn the closure could last a while as they clear the scene.
