It involved a grey Ford Focus which was left pointing the wrong way down the sliproad.

Traffic heading towards the Island was affected.

It is understood the Sheppey Crossing was shut for a short while after a van broke down, also on the Sheppey-bound carriageway.

A Kent Police spokesman said: "Officers attended and assisted in the recovery of the vehicle. No serious injuries were reported."
