Road reopens after tractor falls on to M20

A section of the M20 was closed near Addington

The M20 has reopened after a tractor fell off a bridge and on to the motorway's central reservation.

The driver was airlifted to King's College Hospital in London with serious injuries following the incident on the A227 overbridge near Wrotham, Kent, at around 11:15 BST on Monday.

Part of the M20 was closed in both directions shortly before midday and at 12:40 National Highways said the road was shut in both directions between junction three, near Addington, and junction one, near Swanley.

Shortly after 23:30 emergency resurfacing work and barrier repairs had been completed and the road had been reopened in both directions.

On Tuesday morning Kent Police said the man was in a serious but stable condition.
