A road has been shut in both directions by police after a lorry crashed into a ditch.

The vehicle was spotted off the road in Cheeseman’s Green, in Aldington, near Ashford, earlier this afternoon.

Meanwhile, a picture has also been captured of a car with a smashed-up front bumper near Broad Oak – about a mile-and-a-half away from where the lorry was seen.

Police are at the scene of both incidents and motorists are being diverted.

Elsewhere, the M20 is still shut between Junction 10A for Ashford South and Junction 11 for Hythe after a fuel spillage and a serious crash this morning.
