Earlier today a pedestrian bridge above the M20 collapse onto the motorway below, landing on vehicles.

Footage shows the aftermath of the incident, with people stood at the side of the motorway inspecting the damage.

The videos, filmed by Fadé Ogunro, shows a lorry which has had the top of its trailer ripped off, as well as the fallen bridge on the ground.

The camera turns and zooms towards a group of emergency services treating someone who is believed to be injured following the bridge coming down. A section of the bridge that is still intact can also be seen.

Police have said that there was only one injury that came from the incident, and is not thought to be serious.

"It is believed a lorry collided with a pedestrian bridge which has collapsed onto the carriageway below," a spokeswoman for Kent Police said. "No people are believed to be trapped in the debris, however one person is believed to have suffered injuries, not reported to be life-threatening at this time."

The bridge collapsed between junctions 3 and 4 in Kent, according to reports, and drivers have been warned to expect long delays on both sides of the motorway while the situation is assessed by emergency crews.

If you're heading by that area, be sure to plan ahead and use alternative routes.
