A driver has died after suffering serious injuries in a crash on a busy main route.

The woman, who was in her 60s, was taken to hospital following the collision on the A20 London Road in Farningham, near Dartford, on Wednesday, January 19.

But today, detectives revealed that one of the motorists, from the West Kingsdown area, died on Friday.

The incident - which took place at about 5.45pm - saw the woman's blue Ford B-Max collide with a green Ford Transit.

A police spokesman said: "Both drivers were taken to hospital for treatment to injuries which were described as serious.

"But the driver of the Ford B-Max, a woman in her 60s from the West Kingsdown area, died on January 28."

"We are continuing to investigate the circumstances and remain keen to hear from any witnesses who are yet to speak with us," the spokesman added.
