A woman has been cut from her car by fire crews following a six vehicle crash on the Dartford Crossing.
The smash, involving three cars and three lorries, on the Essex-side of the crossing closed the QE2 bridge last night (May 23).
Kent Fire and Rescue Service, Essex Fire and Rescue Service, Essex Police and South East Coast Ambulance Service were called to the scene.

Kent crews used heavy rescue cutting equipment to free a woman who was trapped in one of the cars.
She was then treated by ambulance service crews.
All traffic was stopped at 8.30pm while emergency services worked to clear the vehicles.
Highways England reopened two lanes just after 9pm - all other lanes remain closed until shortly before 11pm.
