It happened at around 1.30pm in Maison Dieu Road near the Park Street junction. The road is now blocked with delays in both directions.

Police are currently at the scene and the van is waiting to be recovered shortly.

A spokesman for Kent Police said: "Kent Police was informed at 1.25pm that a van had collided with a traffic light on Maison Dieu Road and the driver’s airbag had deployed.
