A road next to a busy shopping centre has now reopened after a crash saw queues mount in the area.

People had been warned to expect delays after a crash just outside Fremlin Walk involving a motorbike and car left nearby roads closed and congested.

Pudding Lane in Maidstone has reopened after reports of being blocked in both directions following the crash.

Congestion in the town’s High Street is now believed to be cleared now, though cars were being forced to do u-turns out of Pudding Lane back onto alternative routes.

Police have been contacted for comment.
