M20 Chaos: Motorway Shut for Hours After Dramatic Crash
Overturned Vehicle Halts M20 Coastbound Traffic
A serious smash on the M20 coastbound has forced a motorway shutdown for over two hours between Junction 10 (Ashford) and Junction 11 (Hythe). An overturned vehicle is at the heart of the chaos, sparking huge delays and traffic misery.
Emergency Services Race to the Scene
Kent Fire and Rescue Service, backed by Kent Police and the South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb), arrived swiftly with three fire engines and a technical rescue unit to tackle the incident.
Road Closure Sparks Long Delays and Diversions
The carriageway remains closed both ways as crews clear wreckage and investigate. This has caused lorries and cars to queue back from Junction 9 all the way to Junction 10. Drivers heading towards the area are urged to check live traffic updates and consider alternative routes.
Crash Cause and Injuries Unknown
Authorities have not yet disclosed what sparked the crash or the condition of those involved. Emergency teams are prioritising safety and medical aid at the scene.
