A man has been killed after falling from a bridge onto the busy M20 last night.
The 67-year-old plunged onto the coast-bound carriageway near J5 for Aylesford.
Kent Police said the man's death is not being treated as suspicious.
A spokesman said his next-of-kin have been told about his death.
The motorway was shut for around five hours while crash investigators probed the scene.

The M20 was re-opened at around 2.30am after the scene was cleared.
