A woman has suffered life-threatening injuries after her car crashed into a tree.
It happened at 7.42pm on the London-bound carriageway of the M2 between junction 6 for Faversham and junction 5 for Sheerness, Sittingbourne and Maidstone.
The white Citroen C1 left the carriageway in heavy rain and hit a tree on the embankment, trapping a woman who had to be rescued from the vehicle by fire crews.
A Kent Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: "Three fire engines and the technical rescue team attended and crews used hydraulic cutters, spreaders and rams to create space and remove the roof of the car to release a casualty.
"The person was left in the care of the South East Coast Ambulance Service."
She was taken to a London hospital where she remains in a critical but stable condition with life-threatening injuries.
Officers from the Kent Police Serious Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for information and dashcam footage of the incident.
Any witnesses are being urged to call 01622 798539, quoting reference JW/49/20. Alternatively, email sciu.td@kent.pnn.police.uk
