IT WASN'T just rail commuters that suffered with the heavy rain in Kent this morning - there were tailbacks on one of the county's motorways after three cars collided in the downpour.

The accident happened on the London-bound carriageway of the M20 between junctions 10 and 9, where the road bypasses Ashford.

Police were called at 6.50am and the road was temporarily brought down to two lanes.

The cars involved were a silver Ford Mondeo, yellow Renault Clio and a red Renault Megane.

Nobody was hurt.
