Anyone thinking of using the M20 tonight/tomorrow morning

[P.]

Its currently shut, multiple car crash, guy laying in road, 1st genuine "im going to die" moment! Car clipped another by the side of me and car flipped. Thank fuck I have brakes...
Stopped to count my lucky stars but its pissing it down and I was ok, gave a quick statement and number but holy shit.

Its between the Swanley and A228 Junctions eastbound, but police also closed of west bound outside lane.

Floor is covered in petrol, diesel and oil not to mention a few hundred pieces of car and glass.

Suggest you all avoid

Calmed down with a strong drink... and I rarely drink

Nasty to hear stuff like this, even worse to be a close witness!

Get yourself a few more strong ones!

Nasty! I have a mate that'll be heading down to Maidstone tonight so I'll let him know, cheers for heads up.

Where was it on the m20? Do you think it will interupt my journey back into london via the a20?

I was driving to cambridge a few years back and saw a car flipping the down the road on the other side of the m11. It really shit me up. The strangest thing was that other drivers were honking at the flipping car as if to say 'GET OUT THE FUDGING WAY'.

I called the plod but they weren't happy I was on the phone whilst driving.

Did anyone else read that as follows?

Got caught in it. Made way to front parked bike up and ended up directing cars to make way to for emergency services. After 30 mins heavens opened and hail stones came down. I politely asked mr I'd if myself and one other biker could walk our bikes past as we had no protection from weather. Ten mins later we were escorted through. Jesus Christ what a mess. Bits everywhere car on it's side was a quarter of it's original size. Roof crushed right in and bonnet and engine pushed up into car. So sad for people involved.

Thanks to mr plod for letting the two of us continue. Got a thanks for your help with traffic as well.
