10 Nov
Summary
- A 30-car collision occurred on the M20 in thick fog.
- Two individuals sustained serious injuries in the incident.
- Survivors described the aftermath as 'like a horror movie'.
A multi-vehicle crash involving nearly 30 cars occurred on the M20 highway towards London on Saturday evening. The incident, which took place between Maidstone and Ashford, was attributed to extremely thick fog, exacerbated by a Met Office yellow weather warning.
Two individuals sustained serious injuries and were transported to the hospital. Emergency services, including an air ambulance and technical rescue units, were dispatched to the scene. Survivors described the terrifying experience, with one stating the aftermath felt "like a horror movie" due to the sudden onset of dense fog and the ensuing collisions.
The M20 was closed in both directions for several hours during the early morning of Sunday for recovery and investigation. It has since been reopened to traffic. Paramedics attended to a total of eleven people at the scene.
