Imagine the chaos on a busy highway when a car suddenly bursts into flames. That's exactly what happened on the M2, leading to significant traffic disruptions. On the London-bound side of the road, drivers faced long queues following an alarming incident at Junction 4, which is situated near the Medway services area.
At approximately 6 PM, a white BMW 1 Series ignited, prompting a swift and considerable emergency response from local authorities. The vehicle was located on the hard shoulder just past the exit slip for Junction 4, but in order to manage the situation effectively, police temporarily halted traffic flow until the fire was brought under control.
To handle the fire, two fire engines were dispatched to the scene, and paramedics attended to one individual who required medical assistance. Fortunately, by 7:30 PM, the route had been cleared, allowing traffic to resume. As for the cause of the fire, it remains unclear at this time.
