Motorway between London and Dover closed after body found

M20 closed in both directions following discovery of body and separate collision

Motorists on a major link to the Channel Tunnel and Dover port have been experiencing miles of tailbacks after a body was found on the road and a separate collision forced police to close the M20 motorway in both directions.

Officers were called to the London-bound carriageway between junctions 10 and nine, near Ashford, Kent, at 6.05pm on Tuesday after a body was found. The person was pronounced dead at the scene.
