It comes after another part of the M20 reopened this evening following an earlier accident between junction 10 for Ashford and junction 11 for Westenhanger.

Two people had to be freed from an overturned van which caused traffic to back up.

The coastbound stretch was closed while the emergency services responded to the incident shortly before 3pm.

More as we get it.
