Motorists faced delays on the A20 Ashford Road this morning after a crash.

The collision happened on the Ashford-bound carriageway between Penfold Hill and the M20, close to the roundabout near the Mercure Maidstone Hotel.

Police were called to the scene shortly before 7am and closed the road while they dealt with the incident.

"Officers are currently at the scene and the carriage is currently closed while the van is being recovered.

"No injuries have been reported."
