A section of the A21 has reopened after being closed for more than three hours because of a police incident.

At 08:15 BST on Saturday, National Highways said traffic was stopped in both directions between the A26 near Tonbridge and the A225 near Sevenoaks.

It came after Kent Police was called at about 06:20 to concerns for the welfare of a person who was later passed into the care of health professionals.

Shortly after 11:20, National Highways said the road had fully reopened.
