An accident partially blocked the M2 eastbound carriageway last night.

Four cars were involved in the crash by Medway services on the coastbound carrigeway between J4 for the A278 Hoath Way (Gillingham) and J5 for the A249 (Sittingbourne/Stockbury Roundabout) just before 6pm.

Traffic was held while emergency services attend and the traffic was queuing back to J3.

A police spokesman said: “Police were called at around 5.30pm on Thursday, June 8, following a collision involving four vehicles on the M2 coastbound near the Medway services.

“Officers attended to assist South East Coast Ambulance Service and National Highways at the scene. An air ambulance also attended.

“No serious injuries were reported.”

A traffic report said the road had been closed and there was “trapped traffic within the closure”.

The sliproad at junction 4 was also shut.

The road and sliproad re-opened at around 8pm.
