A woman fears someone will be killed on the A2 if reckless yobs who threw a house brick through the windscreen of her car are not stopped.

Jackie Barrett was a passenger travelling with her husband Jon towards Dover when the missile was hurled at her Citroen from a bridge near Brenley Corner.

Their car was was one of a number of vehicles hit by rubble thrown from the overpass at Boughton-under-Blean on the evening of February 24.

Her quick-thinking husband managed to steer them to safety despite being injured, and pulled up in the nearby BP garage.

Mrs Barrett says another car pulled in just after them, with the driver saying his vehicle had been hit with a plank of wood.

“It’s reckless, deliberate and dangerous - someone could be killed,” she said.

“My husband managed to keep the car in control. I don’t know how he kept going, I would have put my hands up to my face. He saved our lives.”

The legal secretary, who lives in Dover, says she was covered in glass and Mr Barrett suffered deep gashes to two of his fingers, which needed hospital treatment.

“There was glass everywhere - the brick had split into pieces, there was one bit under the clutch, pieces in the back, a bit by the handbrake. I was in shock.

“I have to remember that it’s not as bad as it could have been. I need to stop thinking ‘what if?’. We’ve had a near-death experience but we’re still here.”

Mrs Barrett admits talking about the ordeal brings it all back but she is determined to get their experience out there in the hope it helps catch those responsible.

“I need to make people aware of this,” she said.

“There are people out there causing this devastation and I need to warn motorists.

“If people know anything, please tell the police There is a lot of it going on - there were six incidents that night.

“We understand it was a group of youths and so I urge parents to educate their children as to the dangers and devastating consequences that such deliberate acts of violence can cause.”

The incidents happened between 6pm and 7pm on the bridge above the coastbound section of the A2 near Brenley Corner. No arrests have been made but enquiries are ongoing.

Anyone with information should call police on 01795 419119, quoting 46/36574/19.
