Drivers faced delays while a main road was shut due to a medical emergency in Maidstone.

Ambulance and fire crews were called to the scene in Loose Road, at the junction with Pickering Street, just after 3.20pm today.

South East Coast Ambulance Service said they were called to a private address, and could not provide further information due to patient confidentiality.

Loose Road was closed for around 45 minutes in both directions between Pickering Street and the Walnut Tree pub.
