A section of a major Kent road will remain closed until Wednesday after two accidents and an oil spill took place.

The incidents happened last night on the A299 Thanet Way coastbound road between the M2 and the A290.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "The coastbound carriageway is closed at junction 7 where the Thanet Way meets the M2.

"Traffic is flowing freely in the area and drivers are being diverted via the A2.

"It will remain closed until Wednesday while Kent Highways carry out repairs to the road surface.

"An oil spill occurred stretching several hundred metres and specialist equipment is being brought in to clean the surface.

"No one was injured in either incident."
