Three people have been arrested following a crash on the A299 Thanet Way.

The smash happened on the London-bound carriageway before Brenley Corner at about 6.30pm.

Police could not confirm how many vehicles were involved but said the arrests were part of an "ongoing operation."

A Kent Police spokesman said: "The Brenley corner incident is connected to an on-going police operation."

Traffic built up on the Thanet Way for miles before clearing quickly after about 45 minutes.

An eyewitness said: "The traffic has built up for miles behind me. We are completely stationary at the moment."
