The lorry then exited the motorway at junction three, before colliding at a roundabout for the A20 and M20. Police and ambulance crews attended and the driver, a man aged in his 60s, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other vehicles were involved and it is believed he may have suffered a medical episode. His next of kin have been informed.
