Part of a main road was blocked this morning due to a three-vehicle crash.

The accident involving two cars and a van happened at around 9.10am along the A20 London Road in Aylesford.

Emergency services were called to the scene and drivers were told to expect delays in the area.

The westbound carriageway between Coldharbour Roundabout and Hermitage Lane was shut for just over half an hour.

One of the lanes then reopened, with another closed on the eastbound carriageway to allow for recovery works.

At around 10.44am the road was fully reopened.

A spokesman for the police said: “No injuries have been reported and both carriageways had a lane closed while arrangements were made to move the vehicles.”

The crash comes days after a young man was left fighting for his life after being hit by a car on the same stretch of road.

The pedestrian, who is in his 20s, was struck down while crossing the road near the Quarrywood Industrial Estate on Monday.

He was flown to a London hospital where he remains in a serious but stable condition.

The ambulance service has been contacted for more information.
