The victim was riding her red Honda MSX125 motorbike on the A2 near Shorne, Gravesend, when she was involved in a collision with the driver of a black Audi A7 S-Line.

The car driver signalled to the motorcyclist to stop on the hard shoulder, which the victim did, however when the car driver exited the vehicle, he is reported to have punched the woman in her chest.
