A lorry has T-boned a car on a key road, temporarily halting traffic.

The crash - which happened at about 11.05am on the A20 Townwall Street, Dover - has since been cleared by emergency services.

Eyewitness David Wright said: "I was just walking towards the seafront when I saw a car and a truck crashed.

"The couple in the car have just come off the ferry to go home to Devon and apparently they felt the crash in slow motion."

How the car ended up being hit on its side is a mystery, with Mr Wright saying: "My best guess was that it must have happened at the roundabout and the lorry carried on.

"The couple are shook up and the car's dented on the passenger side."

Police remain at the scene, close to te junction with Marine Parade taking details and sorting out insurance with the two vehicles' owners.
