A campervan flipped over in a crash on the M20 this morning near Ashford.

The coastbound carriageway between junctions 10 and 11 has been partially closed after the crash at 10.10am.

But Kent Police confirmed no injuries have been reported and that officers are at the scene awaiting the vehicle's recovery.

Highways England said the hard shoulder and two lanes have been closed and is expected to remain shut until 12.30pm.

Drivers can still pass the incident on the outside lane but traffic is beginning to tail back towards Ashford.

It is the third vehicle to have overturned on the stretch of motorway in the last week.

Last Friday, a couple were taken to hospital after their car mounted the verge and landed on its side near the Channel Tunnel terminal.

Only yesterday another car flipped onto its bonnet on the Londonbound carriage approaching junction 10 at Ashford and a man was taken to hospital.

The road reopened at 12.20pm.
