A serious accident coastbound on the A2 caused major tailbacks this afternoon.
A car and a van were involved in the incident between junction 7 of the M2 at Brenley Cornor and the A2050, Upper Harbledown, Canterbury.
Emergency services were called to the scene, halfway between the junctions near Dunkirk at around 12.45pm.
The van went down the embankment and debris was scattered across the road. There was also extensive damage to the barriers.
The A2 coastbound was closed for sometime to allow police to clear the scene. It has now been reopened.
