A fire service spokesman said: "The M20 coastbound was closed for a short time while firefighters tackled a fire which had taken hold of a car between junctions 2 and 3.

"While a Highways England patrol managed the road closure, fire crews wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the blaze with a hose reel jet.

"There are no reports of any injuries. Unfortunately, the car was completely destroyed by the fire."
