TWO lanes of the M20 were closed this morning after a foreign lorry overturned.

The accident happened on the London-bound carriage way between Junction 9 (Ashford) and Junction 8 (Leeds) at 4.23am.

The lorry was on its side across two lanes of the carriageway closing lanes one and two temporarily.

The carriageway has now been cleared of debris and diesel and all lanes are open.
