All sections have reopened on a busy motorway after an earlier breakdown closed one lane.

Traffic was held on the M20 with delays of up to around 30 minutes between Junction 4 and 5 near Aylesford.

Images from the scene show long queues of traffic on the London-bound carriageway.

At around 4.35pm the outside lane was coned off to allow recovery vehicles and national highways to work on clearing the obstruction.

From around 5.15pm all lanes have reopened but traffic is still queuing in the area.

National Highways confirmed their presence and assistance at the scene.

Police confirmed it was not called to the incident.
