The vehicle crashed into the central reservation near junction 4
for Leybourne, shortly before 7am.
The motorway was closed while emergency services worked at the
scene.
Traffic builds up after
the crash
The London-bound carriageway was re-opened at 8am, but
coastbound remained closed until just after 11.30am while
crews worked to clear a major fuel spillage.
There have been no injuries, but the clean-up led to delays of
several hours for commuters.
Firefighters and Highways Agency workers were at
the scene.
