Emergency services have been called to the M20 after a vehicle overturned on the motorway.

The crash happened London-bound between J9 for Ashford and J8 for Leeds shortly after 10am.

Highways England reported that two lanes of the carriageway were closed to clear the accident and debris from the road, just before 10.45am.

Firefighters and paramedics were called to the scene, around a mile before the turn off for J8.

Three people are believed to have sustained minor injuries in the crash and at least one was taken to William Harvey Hospital.

The lanes had re-opened by 11.50am.
