Drivers were being urged to stay away from a hospital following a three-vehicle crash by the entrance.

The A2070 Kennington Road in Ashford has now been cleared following the incident.

The crash happened on the William Harvey Hospital site but is causing delays on the main road.

A police spokesman said: “We were called to a report of a three-vehicle collision on the A2070 Kennington Road, Ashford at 2.30pm.

“Officers are currently at the scene and are working to clear the road.

“No serious injuries have been reported.”

An ambulance service spokesman said: “We are aware of the incident as one of our vehicles came across the collision.

“We have not dealt with any patients and understand police are managing our access to the hospital.

“We would urge motorists to avoid the area if possible and be aware of any ambulances looking to make their way through any traffic.”

An East Kent Hospital spokesman says there was a “minor car accident” involving three vehicles on its site.

“No serious injuries have been reported, but one of the vehicles still needs to be moved and the road needs to be cleared of debris to make it safe,” he said.

“At the moment, the main entrance to the William Harvey Hospital is closed and traffic is being diverted via Hinxhill.

“We are expecting the road to be clear and fully open within the next hour.”
