Two people have been taken to hospital after a crash on the A2 this morning.

The crash, which involved a red Transit van and a dark coloured Ford, happened at around 8am on the coast-bound carriageway, less than 100 yards after the Gravesend West junction.

A man was taken to King's College Hospital, London, after suffering serious leg and pelvic injuries.

Another casualty was taken to Darent Valley Hospital, Dartford.

Three fire engines, two ambulances and three ambulance cars were at the scene of the incident and the road remains closed while a forensic examination is carried out.

The road is likely to remain closed until at least midday.

Diversions are in place and minor delays have been reported.

Also this morning, a Seat car straddled the central reservation of the M2/A2 slip road.

Police and recovery vehicles went to the scene on the entry to the Wainscott bypass.

No one was injured.
