A driver may have been travelling the wrong way down the M20 motorway when his car hit another vehicle and left a woman seriously injured, police say.

One man has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving after the black Seat collided with another car between junctions 11 and 10.

Kent Police said they had been called to reports the Seat was travelling the wrong way on the London-bound carriageway when the accident happened.

Both drivers only suffered minor injuries but a passenger in the other car was seriously hurt, police said.

Photos of the accident showed one of the wrecked vehicles hanging over the motorway’s central reservation.

Police Constable Simon Masterson from the force’s serious collision investigation unit said: “There will be a number of people who would have seen this incident, and potentially might have video footage from dash cams.

“I would appeal for anyone who has any information that they think could be relevant to call us as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information should call police on 01622 798 538 or email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk.
