The aftermath of the crash on the A2 in which a transporter overturned

A car transporter driver remains in a serious condition today after his vehicle overturned - spilling cars across the A2 carriageway.

The London-bound carriageway, between Pepperhill and Ebbsfleet, was shut yesterday after the crash at about 3pm, but has now reopened.

Kent Police said the road was cleared by 12.40am after the lorry and debris were recovered.

Two people were injured when the car transporter overturned and is thought to have split in half - spilling some of its cars across both carriageways.

At least one car on board "flew" over the central reservation and hit another car.

The lorry driver was taken to hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injures, and another motorist suffered minor injuries.
