The A2 in Kent was closed after a three-car crash - with an Audi driver missing

A serious crash closed a major A-road overnight.

At 10.40pm on Friday a black Ford Fiesta, a blue Audi S3 and a blue MG HS collided on the coastbound side of the A2 near Dartford, between the A296 and Ebbsfleet junctions

Police say a passenger in the Fiesta was airlifted to a London hospital with serious injuries. The driver and a second passenger were also treated for injuries which are not believed to be serious.

The driver of the Audi was not there when officers arrived.

A police statement said earlier today: "Motorists are advised that the coastbound carriageway remains closed while work is ongoing to clear the road. Kent Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) is investigating and urge anyone who witnessed the collision or has CCTV or dashcam footage to contact them."

The road has since been reopened.
