"One lane is closed and drivers are advised there will be some congestion until the vehicles are recovered."

A Kent Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson added: "Fire crews helped to release a man who was trapped inside the cab of a lorry, on a bank at the side of the carriageway.

"He was released and passed into the care of SECAmb."
