09:00, 28 September 2015
A lorry driver arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after a horror smash in Southborough has had his bail extended until next year.
The 33-year-old, from Northfleet, was arrested on the day of the huge pile-up, which happened in London Road in June.
His bail was due to end on Friday, September 25 but it has now been extended until Tuesday, February 3.
The road was closed between Speldhurst Road and Western Road for seven hours after a lorry ploughed through 13 vehicles.
More than six police cars, two ambulances, a fire service vehicle and the air ambulance descended on the scene.
A trail of destruction was left behind with debris strewn across the road and a set of traffic lights destroyed.
Delivery company Whistl, which owns the lorry involved, said an internal investigation is taking place.
