http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-38807494 Version 0 of 1. A man has died in a crash after it is believed he swerved to avoid a mattress in the middle of the carriageway. The 69-year-old Chatham man died on the A229 Blue Bell Hill, near Chatham, at about 16:30 GMT on Monday. His silver Peugeot 206 left the Maidstone-bound carriageway and hit trees before rebounding on to the road. The mattress had fallen from the roof of a red Peugeot 2008, Kent Police said. The road was closed until 23.20 GMT to enable officers to carry out initial enquiries and to make the carriageway safe. |
