A driver who woke up after a “terrifying” crash with no memory of the accident is appealing for witnesses.

Paul Cerexhe, from Biddenden, was driving to work along the A21 on Tuesday when he collided with the central reservation on the London-bound carriageway.

The 53-year-old says he had joined the road in his BMW from the Blue Boy Roundabout but has no recollection of the incident, which happened near Pembury at about 6.30am.

“One minute I was driving, the next I was woken up by the police,” he said.

“I had a swollen face, I was covered in blood and there was glass everywhere.

“My biggest concern is that I do not remember anything – I have no recollection of it at all.

“I remember joining the A21 and I remember getting to 70mph.

“Then the next thing I know I was being woken up by the police, which was terrifying.”

Police, fire and ambulance crews arrived at the scene and Mr Cerexhe was taken to Pembury Hospital for medical treatment.

At the time doctors suspected he may have had a medical episode, but he was given the all-clear following a series of scans.

He will now be referred to a neurologist and a cardiologist for further tests, but Mr Cerexhe has a theory as to what might have happened.

He said: “I don't think it was a medical episode - I have been checked for that.

“I suspect a deer ran out and I collided with it. Somehow it knocked me unconscious and so I went 200 to 300 yards down the A21 smashing into stuff.

“I went to look at the car yesterday and somebody said it looks like it has hit a deer.

“It would make sense if it came out of nowhere.

“The road is synonymous for deers jumping out - I see them on the side of the road all the time.

“I would like to know if anybody saw what happened, or if anybody has dashcam footage, but nobody has come forward so far.”

Mr Cerexhe's four-month-old BMW i4 M50, which cost £90,000, has since been written off but he says he is just grateful to have escaped with little injury.
