Three people have been arrested after part of a major road was closed following a reported hit-and-run.

The A20 Maidstone-bound was shut at the Larkfield junction with Lunsford Lane and Winterfield Lane.

A police spokesman said: “Officers were called at 8.20am on Saturday, January 27, to a collision involving two vehicles in Lunsford Lane, Larkfield.

“Patrols attended and there were no reported injuries.

“The occupants of one of the vehicles left the scene prior to the arrival of patrols and officers later arrested a man and two women at a nearby property.”

The 21-year-old man from Chatham and the women, aged 20 and 21 from Orpington and Eltham, were later bailed to return to the police station in April pending further investigation.
