M2 in Kent SHUT Both Ways After Lorry Blaze
The M2 in Kent has been slammed shut in both directions between junction 5 Stockbury and junction 6 Faversham. A lorry caught fire on the eastbound carriageway just after 5am, causing chaos for early morning drivers.
Fire Brings Traffic to a Standstill
Motorists report flames ripping through the lorry, leaving vehicles stuck in gridlock with no movement since the blaze erupted. The fire has also caused disruption on the coastbound side, despite the fire being on the opposite carriageway.
Emergency Crews Battle Blaze, Road Likely Closed for Hours
Kent Fire and Rescue, along with Kent Roads Policing officers, are on the scene tackling the fire and dealing with the aftermath. Damage to the road surface means the carriageway closure is expected to last for some time, adding to commuter misery.
