The M20 has now reopened following an earlier crash which left a man seriously injured.

The smash involved a lorry and a van. The van reportedly came off the road and ran into bushes at the side of the motorway.

The van driver, who was trapped by his injuries, was cut free and treated by paramedics before being taken to King's Hospital in London.

His injuries are serious but not life-threatening. The lorry driver is not thought to have been injured.

The coastbound side was also closed to allow the air ambulance to land, with traffic being diverted off the motorway at junction 2.

The accident happened just after 10.30am close to junction 2 for Wrotham and Brands Hatch.

Police, firefighters, and paramedics were all called to the scene.

Traffic was diverted off the motorway at junction 3 for the M26. Both sides are now open and delays have cleared.
