Emergency Response and Airlifted Casualty
Emergency services, including Kent Police, paramedics, and fire crews, rushed to the scene where a vehicle had struck a barrier on the eastbound carriageway.
An air ambulance was called to airlift a female casualty to a London hospital due to serious injuries, while a male passenger was transported to a local hospital by road ambulance.
