Part of Coldharbour Road and Wrotham Road in Gravesend was shut this morning after an accident last night on the roundabout near the Toby Carvery.

Traffic coming off the A2 was being diverted off the A227 Wrotham Road, which is shut heading into Gravesend, and onto Coldharbour Road, past the Toby Carvery and Morrison's.

Traffic coming from Northfleet cannot get past the Morrison's roundabout.

Police were called at 10.33pm yesterday to a report that a tipper truck had overturned.

A police spokesman said: "Officers have returned to the scene this morning to ensure the safety of other motorists and to assist Kent County Council Highways, who are managing road closures and the recovery of the vehicle."

The driver has been taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Travellers are advised to seek alternative routes as delays are expected.
