Nobody is believed to have died in the crash around 7.15am, but police say "there could be people trapped" in their cars.
Chief Inspector Andy Reeves, from Kent Police, said it was "truly miraculous" that there were no fatalities from the crash.
"From my perspective, it's truly miraculous. It's very fortunate."

There are reports of some motorists driving "like idiots" in the conditions before the crash that closed the A249.
Witnesses told Sky News that some motorists were driving without headlights.
At least eight people have suffered serious injuries, and another 60 people suffered minor injuries.
Lives were probably saved by a quick-thinking lorry driver who used his truck to block the entrance to the bridge and stop more cars piling into the crash.
A driver involved in the incident, Chris Buckingham, told Sky News: "He was going the other way and ... he's gone down to the end of the carriageway, gone across the roundabout and actually blocked off the road so no more cars could actually enter the dual carriageway before the emergency services got there.
