A person has been taken to hospital after a crash involving three vehicles in Dartford.

Emergency services attended the scene this morning (February 3) at around 7.25am to reports of a three-vehicle crash on the A282.

The person was taken to hospital for treatment following the incident.

National Highways South East (@HighwaysSEAST) tweeted shortly after 7.45am that the closure of the lanes caused a four-mile congestion and delays up to 30 minutes.

All lanes have now reopened but delays may remain in the area with congestion from J4 while traffic eases, according to National Highways on Twitter.

We have asked South East Coast Ambulance Service for more information.
