TRAFFIC on the A2 is moving again after a three-car collision closed the road this morning.

London-bound traffic on the A2 at Bean was held up following the accident at 6.30am.

The collision, which involved a Ford Focus, a Ford Transit van and a second van, caused lane closures on the Bean slip-road.

Fire crews cut free a passenger from one of the vans.

He was taken to Darent Valley Hospital as a precaution with minor back injuries.

The vehicles were removed and the road was reopened at 7.51am.
