A terrifying crash on the A2 motorway between Gravesend and Bluewater has resulted in a motorcyclist sustaining life-altering injuries. The incident occurred around 8:15pm near the Wrotham Road junction in Gravesend and the Ebbsfleet junction in Swanscombe.
Emergency teams including police, paramedics, firefighters, and the air ambulance quickly responded to the scene, supported by National Highways staff. Despite their rapid arrival, the severity of the collision necessitated a full closure of the A2 in both directions between Ebbsfleet and Wrotham Road.
The road closure has led to major traffic delays in the area. While specific details about the motorcyclist’s condition have not been disclosed, the presence of multiple emergency services underscores the seriousness of the crash. Efforts are ongoing to assist those affected and to clear the scene.
National Highways has advised drivers to expect delays and to remain patient. The A2 is not expected to reopen before 11pm as investigations and cleanup operations continue.
