A driver was taken to hospital after an accident involving a car and a lorry.

The incident happened on the coastbound carriageway of the M2 between junction 2 for Rochester and junction 3 at Blue Bell Hill.

Police were at the scene and closed one lane.

The lane has since been reopened.

Police spokesman Lucy Hurdle said: "Police were called at 5.06pm on Monday, December 17 to reports of a collision involving a lorry and a car on the coastbound carriageway of the M2, near to J2.

"Officers attended the scene and the driver of the car was taken to a local hospital for treatment."

Meanwhile, a broken down vehicle has closed a lane on the M2 coastbound exit slip road at junction 3 for Blue Bell Hill. The issue has been cleared.

Elsewhere, there were major queues of over an hour and a half on the M25 heading towards the Dartford Crossing due to heavier than normal traffic.

Traffic has returned to normal.
