One lane has been blocked while the vehicles are recovered.

The crash occurred in a section of the motorway which was already down to two narrow lanes as a result of Operation Brock[3], meaning only one was open for traffic.

Kent Highways says emergency services are on the way and has warned of long delays.

The police and fire services have been asked for more information.
