The A260 Canterbury Road in Densole was shut after emergency services were called to the crash near the Black Horse Pub just after 5pm.

A taxi is thought to be involved in the crash, and two people have been taken to hospital.

Roads around Pay Street were gridlocked following the crash with some drivers reporting delays of more than two hours.

The road reopened at about 9pm.
