The emergency services attended the scene, including five fire engines but a woman in her 30s was pronounced dead at the scene.
The woman’s next of kin have been informed.
Three other people suffered injuries.
A man and a woman were taken to a London hospital where they remain in a serious condition.
Another man was taken to a local hospital.
Police officers initially closed the road in both directions but the southbound carriageway reopened with a two-lane closure at around 2.45am.
National Highways said cops were at the scene carrying out “complex investigation works” and because to the severity of the incident, it could not say when the road might be reopened.
Drivers heading for Sheppey were at first diverted off the A249 at Key Street and asked to travel via Sheppey Way and the Kingsferry Bridge.
Witnesses have reported seeing flames and black smoke, and said they were told to stay in their vehicles with the windows shut.
Officers from Kent Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) have launched an investigation and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or who saw the vehicles immediately before the collision.
They are also appealing for anyone with relevant dashcam footage to come forward.
Witnesses should call the SCIU appeal line on 01622 798538 quoting reference RY/DC/011/2026.

CCTV and dashcam footage can submitted via the force’s public portal.

“NO ONE SHOULD BE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS.” Bradley Walsh has reportedly given away every penny of his £2 million bonus and sponsorship earnings — not for publicity, not for praise, but to build 150 housing units and fund 300 emergency shelter beds for people with nowhere to go. Those close to him say the decision was made quietly, without cameras or announcements. “Bradley didn’t see it as charity,” one source revealed. “He saw it as responsibility.” At a time when most stars protect their wealth, Walsh’s gesture has stunned fans — not because of its size, but because of its sincerity.
