There are still tailbacks to junction 2 for the Darenth Interchange, causing delays of around 20 minutes. The east tunnel had been closed with vehicles over 15 feet nine inches being diverted via the M25 but has since reopened.

Emergency services have been approached for more information.

More as we have it.
