Woman Dies in Christmas Eve M2 Crash in Kent

Fatal Collision on M2 Motorway

A 20-year-old woman tragically died in a fatal collision on the London-bound M2 motorway on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025. The incident occurred shortly before 12:50 PM near the Medway services (Junction 4) in Kent, United Kingdom. The woman, who was from the Faversham area, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her next of kin has been informed.

Incident Details and Vehicle Involved

Kent Police reported that the woman was driving a black Volkswagen T-Roc when it collided with the central reservation and subsequently overturned. Authorities confirmed that there were no other passengers in the vehicle, and no other cars were involved in the collision.

Emergency Response and Road Closures

Emergency services, including Kent Police, the South East Coast Ambulance Service, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, and National Highways Traffic Officers, swiftly responded to the scene. The serious nature of the incident necessitated the closure of the London-bound carriageway of the M2 between Junctions 5 and 4 for an extended period. This closure was crucial for collision investigators to conduct their work and for recovery operations, leading to significant travel disruption on one of the busiest travel days of the year.

Police Appeal for Witnesses

The Serious Collision Investigation Unit of Kent Police has launched an appeal for witnesses. They are urging anyone who may have seen the incident, or the vehicle prior to the collision, to come forward. Motorists with dashcam footage from the area at the time of the crash are particularly encouraged to assist the ongoing investigation.
