A man has died after being hit by a car on the M2 near Rochester.

Kent Police were called at 18:40 BST after reports that a person had been hit by a car on the coastbound carriageway between junctions one and two.

The man, in his 30s, died at the scene and his next of kin have been informed.

His death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner, say officers.
