Fire crews had to remove the door of a car to free a man trapped after a crash in the early hours of this morning.

Emergency services - including three fire engines - were called to the A28 in Godmersham, near Canterbury, after the vehicle ended up in a ditch shortly after 12.30am.

Firefighters used hydraulic cutting equipment - known as "the jaws of life" - to take a door off the car so they could reach the driver.

They then helped him to safety before passing him into the care of paramedics.

His injuries are understood to not be life-threatening.

Crews left the scene shortly before 1.30am.
