All emergency services were called to the scene and a full road closure was put in place.

Traffic caught in the closure has since been released but the road did not reopen until just before 7.30am as the scene was being cleared.

Congestion is still backed up to Junction 3 for the M20 and Swanley Interchange and down the A21 link to the A25 at Sevenoaks.

Traffic is also queuing for three miles down the M20 diverting from the M26.

The M26 is also closed westbound from Junction 2 for Wrotham to the M25.

National Highways says there are delays of just under an hour.
