Two people have been taken to hospital after a multi-vehicle crash on a main road.

The four-vehicle accident happened on the A258 Dover Road in Walmer, near the Granville Road junction at about 9am.

Kent Highways warned drivers to expect delays in the surrounding area on the social media networking site X, formally Twitter.

A spokesman for the ambulance service said: “Two people, with believed to be minor injuries, were assessed and treated at the scene before being taken to QEQM Hospital in Margate for further checks.”

The road has since been cleared and traffic has eased.
