A man had to be cut from the wreckage of his car after it crashed into a ditch.

The accident happened at 1.25am today on Hinxhill Road, Hinxhill, Ashford.

The Audi, with one man inside, left the road and ended up in a ditch.

Emergency services attended and the man had to cut from the wreckage by Ashford firefighters.

Crew manager Andy Harris said: “We were there about two hours because the ambulancemen wanted the man stabilised before we removed him.

“In the end we took the roof off the car and got him out on a spinal board. It was a bit tricky because the car was in a ditch.”

The man was taken to the William Harvey Hospital by ambulance.
