Police have thanked witnesses who came
forward after a woman died when she was hit by a car on the M2.
The 35-year-old, who has not been named, was knocked down when
she got out of her car after a minor accident at about 7.30pm on
Wednesday.
She was driving a silver Peugeot 207 which collided with the
central reservation on the coastbound carriageway between junction
one at the Wainscott bypass and junction two for
Cuxton.
A police spokesman said the woman, who is from Maidstone, was
standing at the side of the carrigeway, next to the
central reservation when she was hit by a silver Ford Mondeo.
The male Mondeo driver, a 22-year-old man from Higham near
Rochester, was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital with a minor
injury and later discharged. He has not been arrested at this
stage.
Police appealed for drivers who initially stopped to help the
woman and later drove away from the scene to get in touch, to help
officers with their investigation.
The road was closed for around seven hours while officers from
the Kent Police Serious Collision Unit carried out an
investigation.
The crash caused severe delays, with traffic being directed off
the motorway at junction one.
Witnesses are asked to call Kent
Police on 01622 798538.
