An overturned lorry on the M20 forced a slip road to be partially closed for close to eight hours last night.

The incident happened on the London bound slip road for junction 4 (Leybourne).

Once the lorry was recovered after an hour and a half one lane was reopened.

Damage to side barriers meant all of the lanes could not be reopened until 3am.

Kent Fire and Rescue freed the driver from the lorry and police say no arrests have been made.

They were then taken to hospital.
