Tragic Crash Kills Beloved Dad and Community Hero on M20

Arran McManus, 36, lost his life in a horrific crash near Lenham on the morning of November 25. The smash involved a white Mercedes lorry, a black Nissan Qashqai, and a white Scania articulated lorry on the westbound M20 between junctions 9 and 8 at around 8.30am.

Heartbroken Partner Pays Emotional Tribute

Arran’s partner, Ashleigh Devlin, has spoken out in grief. She called him her “best friend and whole life” and shared the devastating impact of his death.

“On Tuesday morning, Arran, my partner, my soulmate, and best friend was sadly taken too soon from us.”

“He was the most wonderful dad to our two incredible children, and he was so proud of them both and loved them deeply.”

“Arran will be sorely missed by his entire family circle. He was a pillar of our local community football club Kennington, as a coach and executive team member, bringing joy to so many.”

Air Ambulance Rush and Police Probe Underway

The eastbound M20 was shut down to allow an air ambulance to land at the scene. Arran was airlifted to a local hospital with serious injuries but sadly later died.

Kent Police are hunting for witnesses who saw the collision or the vehicles involved. Anyone with info is urged to get in touch immediately.
