A passing motorist took these pictures of an articulated lorry after it partially tipped over into a ditch.

Hairdresser Louisa Peachey, who lives in Tenterden, came across the scene in Sissinghurst Road this afternoon.

The 41-year-old stopped to check on the driver and said: "He very and upset and said that he was forced to swerve off the road to avoid an oncoming truck."

"It was quite shocking to see such a massive truck in the ditch but at least it seems no one was hurt."

Police were called to the incident near the Three Chimneys pub in Biddenden this afternoon and a spokesman said: "We were informed that a lorry had left Sissinghurst Road near Biddenden at 12.40pm.

"Officers attended and assisted with the vehicle’s recovery."
