Crash

Kent Police are appealing for witnesses to a serious collision on the M20 near Maidstone shortly afer 5am on Sunday (6th December) morning.

A red Nissan Qashqai was driving along the Junction 7 (A249) slip-on road of the London-bound M20 when the vehicle was involved in a collision with a red Mercedes articulated lorry.  The driver of the Nissan, a 74-year-old woman from Maidstone, died at the scene. Her next of kin have been informed.

A 39-year-old man from the Czech Republic was arrested in connection with the incident and remains in police custody.

Police have launched an appeal for witnesses after a 51 year old Sittingbourne motorcyclist died on the A2 London Road in Bapchild on Sunday (6th September).

Kent Police told SFM News that a blue and silver Suzuki motorbike was travelling along the A2 in the direction of Teynham when it was involved in a collision with a silver Volkswagen Jetta at the junction with Hempstead Lane just after 10am. Emergency services, including Kent Air Ambulance attended but the biker died at the scene.

An Arriva double decker bus struck the railway bridge in Milton Road, Sittingbourne, earlier today resulting in both road and train service closures.
