M20 motorway is closed after TRACTOR fell from a bridge onto the road

A major motorway has been forced to close in both directions after a tractor fell from a bridge on to the road.

The M20 between Swanley and Addington, Kent, has been shut off with the closure expected to last for at least four hours.

Emergency services were called to the A227 overbridge near Wrotham at 11.17am after reports a tractor had fallen off a bridge on to the central reserve following a crash.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service and South East Coast Ambulance Service worked together to airlift a man to hospital.

Kent Police confirmed the man had 'serious injuries'.
