M20 closed in Kent after early morning lorry crash

A stretch of motorway in Kent has been closed following a crash involving a car and a lorry.

The M20 was shut between Junction 9 for Ashford and Junction 8 for Hollingbourne just before 04:00 BST.

Police said no injuries had been reported and that the carriageway was shut to allow highways teams to recover the vehicles and clear debris and an oil spill.

National Highways thanked those who had been held up in traffic for their patience.
