A jack-knifed lorry caused traffic chaos in Ashford on a busy industrial estate this morning.

The incident happened during the morning rush hour on Henwood industrial estate off of Mace Lane.

The trailer on the foreign lorry was propped up by blocks of wood.

It is believed the lorry and the trailer disconnected from each other.

Eyewitness Andy Clark said: “Because the traffic couldn’t get through, everything just came to a standstill outside the fire station.

“They had the trailer propped up on blocks of wood to try and reconnect it.”

The road reopened just before 10am.
