A lorry was destroyed by a fire near a roundabout in Sittingbourne.

A pair of fire engines from the Sittingbourne fire station was called to the junction of Staplehurst Road and St Paul’s Street at about 4am today.

The crews were there for about an hour fighting the blaze which is believed to have been caused by an engine failure.

They also used a ladder to reach the top of the lorry.

There were no reported injuries.
