Major Accident Shuts Folkestone Road Into Dover

Folkestone Road, a key route into Dover, has been shut down after a serious crash earlier today. The closure looks set to last for hours as emergency services deal with the aftermath.

Road Closure Extended from Train Station to Elms Vale

Police have widened the cordon, closing the road from the train station past the local doctor’s surgery all the way to Elms Vale. The move is to clear a safe zone for an air ambulance that was seen hovering above, preparing to touch down and aid at the scene.

Police Work to Clear the Way for Air Ambulance

Officers have been using loudspeakers to move vehicles and pedestrians to ensure the helicopter can land safely. The arrival of the air ambulance highlights the crash’s seriousness, though no details on injuries or exact cause have been released.
