The driver of the other car, believed to be in her late 20s, was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital. Her injuries were not thought to be serious.
Firefighters from Maidstone and Sittingbourne attended the accident in which both cars overturned.
They used hydraulic equipment to remove the roof of the car to release the passenger.
The driver of the other car had escaped her vehicle by the time crews arrived.
One lane of the A249 at Detling Hill remained shut for more than three hours while the accident was cleared.
It caused traffic to tail back as far as junction 7 of the coastbound M20. u3000
The road was fully reopened at 8.50pm. Police are looking into the cause of the accident.
