All traffic was held for a short time to recover a vehicle from lane four.

Traffic was back on the move at about 7.15am, but two lanes remained shut until about 8.45am.

Congestion was back to J3 of the M25 and a 50mph speed restriction was put in place in a bid to ease congestion.

The crash also caused long knock-on delays for traffic on the M26 west-bound between J2A at Wrotham/Brands Hatch and the M25 at Sevenoaks.
