Drivers on the M20 are facing delays following a crash between a car and a lorry earlier this morning.

A lane was briefly closed on the London-bound carriageway between junction 6 for Maidstone and junction 5 for Aylesford but has since been re-opened.

However, there are still long queues and commuters are advised to allow extra time for their journeys where possible.

A police spokesperson said: "Kent Police was made aware of a report of a collision involving a car and a lorry on the London-bound carriageway of the M20 between junctions 6 and 5 at 6.19am on Tuesday, January 8. No injuries were reported.

"Highways officers dealt with the incident."
