Two people arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a young woman died in a crash on the M20 have been released on bail.

Emergency crews were called to the coast-bound carriageway just after junction 11a for the Channel Tunnel at around 10pm last night following the smash involving a grey BMW and a grey Peugeot 206.

The BMW swerved off the road and ended up on its roof at the side of the carriageway.

The driver, a 25-year-old woman from London, died at the scene.

Two 25-year-old men, one from Gillingham and one from Chatham, have been arrested and bailed until Thursday, March 23 next year.

The M20 was closed for several hours, causing issues for motorists attempting to reach the Port of Dover or Eurotunnel terminal.

It had reopened by 8am.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 01622 798538 quoting 13-1206, or email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk.

It comes after the same stretch of road was closed for ten hours on Saturday following a crash which killed a motorcyclist.

Police have also appealed for witnesses to that incident. The victim was a 28-year-old man from Folkestone.
