A police spokesman added: “We were called at 12.06pm today to a report of a collision involving a van and a cyclist on Harbour Street near the junction with Beach Street in Folkestone[1].
“Officers attended along with South East Coast Ambulance Service and the cyclist, a woman in her 70s, was taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
“The road was closed for crews to respond to the incident.”
There was reportedly standstill traffic in the area exacerbated by the Road of Remembrance closure following multiple landslides.
Traffic has since returned to normal, according to reports.
