Eight motorists have been seriously injured and at least 60 suffered minor injuries in a pile-up involving more than 100 cars in dense fog on the Sheppey crossing bridge in east Kent during the morning rush hour.

A spokeswoman for Kent police confirmed that nobody had died, despite the scene of chaos with one side of the bridge completely blocked by cars and lorries locked together.

A statement from Kent fire and rescue service said: "There are no fatalities but ambulance crews are dealing with a large number of walking wounded casualties. Firefighters have used hydraulic cutting equipment to release five people from their vehicles.
