A teenage girl collapsed unconscious after a car smashed into a garden wall.

The 15-year-old was rushed to hospital with abdominal pain after the crash.

She is believed to have clambered out of the Ford Fiesta before losing consciousness and collapsing to the floor, but her injuries were described as “not life-threatening”.

Four other teenagers in the car escaped unhurt.

The driver, a teenager from Aylesford, told police she had been blinded by the full-beam headlights of an oncoming car as she travelled to Canterbury.

She claimed it had caused her to swerve across the road and into the wall.
The crash happened in Pean Hill, Blean, on Thursday.

Firefighters were called to the scene to clear up a petrol spill and the car was later recovered.
