A crash involving a motorcycle and a car closed a road in Canterbury for several hours this afternoon.

Police shut Shalloak Road, between Broad Oak Road and Sweechgate, just before noon while they dealt with the incident.

No one is thought to have been hurt.

There were severe delays in the area, not helped by the closure of the Sturry level crossing nearby.

The road was clear by 3pm.

A police spokesman said: "Kent Police was called at 11.46am on 5 June to Shalloak Road, Canterbury to reports of a collision between a motorbike and a car.

"No injuries were reported but the road had to be closed while the vehicles were recovered."
