A motorway has reopened, several hours after a crash involving two cars and a lorry this morning.

The smash happened shortly before 8.30am on the coastbound carriageway of the M20 near junction 10 at Ashford.

Police closed one lane of traffic for four hours while the debris was cleared.

Kent Police RPU tweeted that a vehicle "failed to stop in time for queueing traffic" which resulted in diesel spilling across the carriageway and that a driver was "dealt with" for careless driving.

A police spokesman said no one is believed to have been hurt in the crash.
