A motorist has been taken to hospital after a crash between a car and lorry on the M20 forced a lane to be closed.

The car was reported to be blocking the coastbound carriageway between junctions 3 and 4 for the M26 and Snodland.

Police were called at 6.20am and the crash near junction 4 caused queuing traffic on the motorway.

Paramedics also attended and took a man to hospital but his injuries were not described as serious.

Highways England said the car had been blocking lane two through the section of roadworks which is currently reduced to two lanes.

It was removed from the road and taken to a safe part of the motorway shortly after 7.30pm with traffic beginning to return to normal.
