A vehicle that burst into flames along the A2 coastbound near Strood has created miles of tailbacks with large amounts of congestion on the A227 Wrotham Road (Gravesend / Tollgate Services).

One lane is closed a mile before the start of the M2.

The fire is now out, but a fire engine is still on the scene.

The vehicle caught light at J1 of the M2 / A289 (Strood).
