A YOUNG woman seriously hurt when she was thrown through the windscreen of a Ford Transit van she was driving is still in a stable condition in hospital.

Claire Mobbs, 24, from Sheppey, is thought to have suffered serious head injuries.

She was taken to Gillingham's Medway Maritime Hospital after the accident on the A249 near the Kemsley junction on Wednesday last week.

Police said the white van she was driving overturned several times and collided with a junction sign. Miss Mobbs was thrown clear but the sign then landed on her.

A hospital spokesman said Miss Mobbs' condition "remained stable".
