The air ambulance attended the crash, which happened at about 2pm.

All emergency services were called, with the road reopening at about 6.15pm.

While the M20 was shut, a crash involving a car and a lorry caused delays on Drover’s Roundabout.

The accident, which happened just before 4pm, blocked part of the junction, but no one was injured. The road was cleared at 4.15pm.
