The A260 has today been the subject of a lot of police attention following two incidents on the stretch between Hawkinge and Canterbury.

A lorry overturned this morning near Selsted and its driver was taken to hospital suffering from a head injury - which was not thought to be life threatening.

Kent Police were called to the scene at 9.50am.

The road was closed while the lorry was recovered and re-opened at 3.45 pm.

But, in a second incident police received a call from a driver that a Lotus sports car was abandoned after leaving the road and ending up wedged between trees.

A Kent Police spokesman confirmed no RTC (road traffic collision) had been reported and that officers were unaware of anyone being injured.

They added inquiries were ongoing to trace the owner.
