Heavy downpours have triggered flash flooding and made for dangerous driving conditions across parts of the county.
Police have been called to a crash involving an Aston Martin on the M20 near Maidstone.
Officers said the car hit standing water on the coastbound carriageway between junctions 4 and 5 at around 11.20am.

Highways officers also reported flash flooding on roads around Maidstone, including in Rocky Hill where a manhole cover has risen up with the water.

There are also problems on other parts of the one-way system, including Mill Street, and it's thought work on the Maidstone Bridges upgrade was suspended while the downpour battered the County Town.
