The air ambulance was called to the scene of an overturned lorry which caused disruption for motorists heading off the M2 this morning.

Police, ambulance and fire crews were called to the crash on the London-bound exit slip road at Junction 5 for the Stockbury Roundabout near Sittingbourne.

The lorry flipped onto its side just before the roundabout.

Firefighters used heavy rescue equipment to free the driver of the lorry who was trapped by his injuries.

Paramedics took the patient to King's College Hospital in London with head and arm injuries.

He has since been taken to a London hospital for treatment to head and arm injuries.

Traffic was queuing on the M2 London-bound stretching back to Junction 6 for Faversham as a result.

Also, a broken down lorry blocked one lane heading coastbound between Junction 4 for Gillingham and Junction 5.

The vehicle came to a stop after crashing with a car at about 7.11am, which has stopped on the hard shoulder.

No injuries have been reported and the HGV has since been moved to the hard shoulder.

Police were called to the overturned lorry at 5.46am and closed the slip road to assess injuries.

The M2 remains open but drivers hoping to get off at Junction 5 need to find alternative routes.
