Crash Closes Motorway
A “Cinque Ports” Photographer took this photograph from a bridge over the M20 at Sellindge.
Probably as much as an hour after the accident took place this afternoon (Thursday 7 April 2016). Car rescue lorries were already on the scene to take the wrecked vehicles away. The London Bound side where the accident happened was closed but at this stage police were allowing one lane of traffic to move forward on the southbound carriageway.
