A woman has died in a two-car crash on the London-bound carriageway of the M2.

A red Nissan Qashqai collided with a red Mercedes-Benz C 200 AMG at about 06:15 GMT on Sunday between junctions six, for Faversham, and five, for Sittingbourne, Kent Police said.

The driver of the Nissan Qashqai, a woman in her 50s, died at the scene.

A 40-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink driving. Police are appealing for witnesses.

The force said it was keen to talk to the driver of a light coloured van who may have seen the Mercedes pass them prior to the collision.

It believes the motorist may have important information which can assist its investigation.
