About 200 people were injured when over 100 vehicles crashed on a bridge in thick fog in south east Britain's Kent county today.
The crash, which occurred on the new Sheppey four-lane crossing bridge in Kent this morning, reportedly went on for 10 minutes as cars continuously collided with each other.
The scene on the bridge was a mass of tangled cars, lorries and even a car transporter as one witness said "all you could hear was cars crashing".

Six of those hurt in the collisions are thought to have serious injuries.
A Kent police spokesperson said more than 100 had crashed.
The spokesperson said visibility was a problem over the bridge, but it was not clear whether that caused the pile-up.
Firefighters said they had freed five people from their vehicles on the southbound carriageway.
One witness said visibility was very poor but drivers were approaching the crossing with no lights.
