National Highways reported one lane was closed and the ambulance service had been called to the collision.
One person was treated by paramedics for their injuries.
There was congestion all the way back to Junction 3 at the Swanley interchange, with the opposite side slow due to drivers slowing down to look.
Firefighters and police also attended, but no rescue operations were required.

Emergency services left the scene at around 5pm.
Following the accident, drivers faced approximately 30 minutes of delays as traffic returned to normal.
