A main road was partly blocked after a motorbike accident this morning.

There was slow traffic near the roundabout of the A26 and A27 with congestion going back to the Cuilfail Tunnel.

The accident at the Southerham roundabout involved a motorcyclist who suffered minor facial injuries.

He was treated by ambulance paramedics.

It was reported just before 6.40am and the road was clear just after 7am, although the scene left residual delays on all approaches towards the roundabout.
