Witness appeal following serious collision near Wrotham

Dashcam footage and witnesses are sought following a serious collision on an overbridge near Wrotham.

Kent Police was called at 11.17am on Monday 18 August 2025 to a report of a collision on an overbridge near Wrotham.

Officers attended the scene alongside Kent Fire and Rescue Service and South East Coast Ambulance Service, where one man was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. He remains there in a critical but stable condition. His next of kin are aware.

Initial enquiries have established the incident as a single vehicle collision.

A tractor travelling on the A227 Gravesend Road became separated from its trailer and subsequently fell onto the central reservation between junction two and three of the M20.

Both the M20 and the A227 were closed while the roads were made safe and the vehicle and trailer were recovered. The carriageways have now reopened.
