A woman biker remains seriously ill in hospital after a crash on the M26.

The Kent-bound motorway was shut for hours yesterday after a woman in her 40s crashed her bike near Otford.

It is believed no other vehicles were involved in the collision which happened just before 3pm yesterday.

Both carriageways were closed to allow the air ambulance to land at the scene.
