Traffic jams after rush-hour crash on M2
A crash involving
three vehicles on the M2 caused rush-hour chaos this
morning.
It happened on the London-bound
carriageway between junction 6, the A251 for Faversham, and
junction 5 for the A249 just before 5am.
At the height of rush hour
traffic was backed up past junction 7 at Brenley Corner.
All lanes were re-opened at about
7.30am. No one was seriously injured.
One driver stuck in the queue said:
"The traffic was stationary for long periods. Heavy sleet was
falling and some sarted to settle near the central reservation.
"It took me 40 minutes to get from
Brenley Corner to the Faversham junction. which is only about a
mile and a half."
There are also reports of another
accident causing problems on the coast-bound M2 between junctions 5
and 6.
