Driver’s lucky escape on A249
Comments |
A butcher has described how he narrowly avoided
being hit by a flying bumper on the A249.
Keith Downes, who works at MB Farms at Stockbury, was driving
behind a car heading towards Maidstone which crashed near the
Indian restaurant at about 5.20pm yesterday (Wednesday).
He said: “A car in the right-hand lane hit the curb and spun
round. It happened so quickly.
"The bumper came flying off across the road and missed me by a
couple of inches. It could have had me as well.”
A police spokesman said the collision involved a Vauxhall Corsa
and a Jaguar and a man was left with a cut hand.
He was treated by medics at the roadside. Firefighters from
Maidstone arrived but the drivers of the vehicles were not
trapped.
Traffic was slowed in both directions by police and the road was
cleared by 6.05pm.
