Drivers are facing long queues following a hit-and-run on a major route this morning.

The incident happened on the M20 westbound between junction 4 for West Malling and junction 3.

Two lanes were closed in the aftermath, but have since reopened.

National Highways says there were seven miles of congestion on the approach, causing 65-minute delays as a result.

Delays have since eased, but drivers are still stuck in mile-long tailbacks.

Police were called to the collision shortly after 5:30am today (December 4) and were joined by paramedics.

One of the vehicles had left the scene before officers arrived.

One man was treated for injuries not described as life-threatening.

Enquiries are underway to identify the driver who left the scene.
