The M20 was closed in both directions due to concerns for a missing person.

National Highways shut the motorway between Junction 2 for Paddock Wood, near Tunbridge Wells, and Junction 3 for the M26.

It was because police received a call just before 4pm reporting concerns for a person's welfare/

The M20 and coastbound M20 were temporarily closed for around an hour before being reopened at 4.45pm.

A police spokesman added: "The person was safely located and both motorways were reopened."

More as we get it.
