A man has been taken to hospital after a crash on a main road this evening.

It happened on the B2011 between Dover and Folkestone, at 5.15pm, between the Plough Beefeater restaurant and Farthingloe farm shop.

A Kent Police spokesman said officers remained at the scene for more than one hour but further details of the accident and the condition of the man taken to a local hospital have yet to be released.

"We were called at 5.17pm to reports of a crash involving two vehicles," a Kent Fire spokesman said.

"There was no fire and nobody trapped, and firefighters made the scene safe while other emergency services carried out their duties."

They left the scene around 45 minutes after arriving.

The road is now open once again.

The South East Coast Ambulance Service has been approached regarding the incident.
