A lorry driver has been arrested after his vehicle overturned at the entrance to the Eastern Docks in Dover.

Police and firefighters were called to the scene at about 7pm on Friday.

Port of Dover press officer Justine Wingate said: "A lorry coming into the port hit a concrete device and overturned in the buffer zone at the entrance to the port.

"We had to close several lanes and organise its recovery which took quite a long time.
The final part of the lorry left just before 7am this morning.

"There was a slight delay at the port because of it but traffic was able to move through.

"The driver, a Bulgarian male, has been arrested."

The driver is still in custody this morning.

Firefighters cleared the resulting fuel spillage in the road.
