Police at the scene of a crash on the Thanet Way

Traffic came to a standstill on the A299 Thanet Way after a three-vehicle smash near Whitstable this afternoon.

Two Ford Transit vans and a Peugeot crashed on the London-bound carriageway near the Shell garage at just after 1pm.

One vehicle rolled onto its side and another smashed into the central reservation.

Police and paramedics were called to the scene and the slip road from Whitstable was shut to stop drivers getting onto the Thanet Way.

No one has been seriously hurt.
