Part of the M20 was closed this morning after a lorry shed
its load of beer bottles.
It happened at around 8am on the London-bound carriageway
between junctions 12 and 13.
Boxes of canned and bottled Budweiser, Carlsberg and
Guinness bit the dust.
At 10.30am, a police spokesman said: "The load is believed
to be bottles of beer, which have smashed.
"The London-bound carriageway remains closed as the road is
cleared of debris.
"There are long delays in the area, of up to an hour, and
drivers are being advised to find alternative routes."
Lane one has reopened on the coast-bound carriageway. There are
no reports of any injuries.
