A 10-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the death of a man on the A20 at the weekend.

Michael Baker, 47, from Littlehampton, West Sussex died after the recovery truck he was in collided with a lorry.

Police believe the lorry had stopped because a group of children were throwing stones at vehicles shortly before the two-car pile-up near the Swanley interchange at 10.40am on Saturday.

Mr Baker was in the truck following an earlier accident at junction four of the M25.
