A 16-year-old boy has been arrested following a crash in Medway which saw a car flip onto its roof during the early hours of this morning (Tuesday, December 31). Emergency services, including police and paramedics, were called to the scene in Rainham at around 3.20am.
One car had been involved in the crash in the High Street. Images from the scene show that the vehicle had ended up on its roof following the collision and caused extensive damage to a set of traffic lights near the turning for Otterham Quay Lane.
