Drivers faced 40-minute rush-hour delays on the M20 this morning due to a broken down lorry - and just when it had been cleared a car broke down in the same place.
Highways England closed one lane on the London-bound carriageway between junction 9 at Ashford and 8 at Hollingbourne following the first incident at around 8am.
Delays were said to be around 40 minutes above normal journey times and congestion was stretching back up to eight miles.
