Lanes have reopened after a crash on a busy Sevenoaks road this afternoon.

The A224 London Road near the Polhill Garden centre, in Halstead, was closed at around 12.09pm today, following the incident involving a car and a motorbike.

A woman in her 40s, who is believed to have been a passenger on the affected motorbike, has been taken to the Tunbridge Wells Hospital, at Pembury, after suffering a shoulder injury.

Two ambulances from South East Coast Ambulance Service were at the scene, where one took the woman to hospital for further checks.
