A man has been arrested after fleeing the scene of a crash at the Eurotunnel terminal.
The incident happened at the site near Folkestone at about 7.30am.
Police say a car had collided with another vehicle before the driver left the scene.
The car was later stopped more than 20 miles away on the London-bound M20 just before Junction 8 for Leeds Castle.
Traffic built up on the motorway, which currently features just two narrow lanes and a 50mph limit.
A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop when directed and taken into custody.
