Lorry Crash Brings Kent Motorway to a Dead Stop

Chaos hit Kent’s M20 tonight after a lorry smashed into the central reservation. The crash has completely halted traffic on the coastbound side between Junction 5 and Junction 6.

Five Lanes Blocked in Massive Mess

The collision left debris scattered across all five lanes where the A229 and M20 split, forcing a full motorway closure. Traffic was forced to take an “up and over” diversion while emergency crews tackled the wreckage.

Traffic is now inching forward, but a huge clear-up operation involving specialist teams and heavy equipment is still in full swing to reopen the blocked carriageway.
