Police and ambulance crews were called just after 10am, and the road was shut from until just after midday.

An air ambulance could be seen flying overhead, and landed in a field next to the scene before taking off and heading for King's College Hospital in London.

The closure caused long tailbacks coast-bound, as well as congestion on the M2 at junction 7 and a two-mile queues London-bound from Dargate.
