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

The BBC says that 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.
