A crash involving a bus and a car that ignited long delays on a main road has been cleared.

The incident happened on the A260 Canterbury Road in Hawkinge, near Folkestone, at 8.30am.

Drivers were advised to expect long waits and to find alternative routes, however the Kent Police said the incident has been cleared.

The road was partially blocked with traffic already heavy in the area due to temporary traffic lights.

SECAS spokesman Richard Airey said: "I can confirm we were called shortly after 8.30am today to reports of a collision involving a car and a bus. Ambulance crews attended the scene and there were reports of minor injuries. However, no one required hospital treatment."
