Motorists travelling along the M2 motorway are experiencing significant delays after a coach caught fire on the coastbound carriageway between Sittingbourne and Faversham.
Emergency services responded quickly as smoke billowed from the burning coach, bringing traffic to a standstill. National Highways has issued warnings that delays could last up to 65 minutes.
Kent County Council (KCC) Highways confirmed that slow-moving traffic is affecting the stretch between Junction 5 (Stockbury) and Junction 7 (Brenley Corner). They have advised drivers to allow extra time for their journeys and to stay alert for further updates.
Drivers are encouraged to expect heavy congestion on the coastbound M2 and to consider alternative routes where possible. Following updates from National Highways and local traffic officials is recommended to stay informed about the situation.
With emergency crews still working to extinguish the blaze and clear the wreckage, road users should remain patient and prepared for ongoing disruption in the area.
