A young woman has spoken of her terror when youths lobbed a missile at her car from a motorway bridge.

A young woman has spoken of her terror when youths lobbed a
missile at her car from a motorway bridge.

Maidstone hairdresser Tiffany Lewis was driving on the M20 when
she noticed the gang of teenagers just before junction 3 near
Wrotham Heath.

Seconds later, the 26-year-old saw one of them throw what looked like a rock straight at her.

"I thought he was going to jump because he was leaning over,"
she said. "But as I got closer I saw he had something in his hand.
Then he threw it.

"There was this almighty crash so loud I thought it must have
come into the car."

The object clipped the side of the windscreen, leaving a massive
crater in the glass.

Badly shaken by the attack, Miss Lewis kept her foot down and
drove on in her Toyota Rav4.

"I just got really panicked. I was so frightened I didn't
want to pull over and then have to get back on the motorway
again.

"Now I wish I had pulled over and chased them. I'm so angry.
I've had to pay for a windscreen and lost a day's work just because
of some idiot. I just think they're absolutely stupid.

"If it had hit in the middle of the windscreen I don't know what
would have happened.

"They could have killed me. If I hadn't seen them first, maybe I
would have swerved and caused a crash."

Angered Tiffany now says she won't drive on a motorway
again.

Witnesses are asked to phone Kent Police on 101 or Kent Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
