Crews dramatically cut a woman free from her car after she became trapped in a four-vehicle smash near Folkestone.

Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash - which involved two cars and two vans on Alkham Valley Road - just before 3.30pm this afternoon.

Using hydraulic cutting gear, the firefighters removed the roof of the car to gain access to the woman.

They then worked with paramedics to remove her from the car and transfer her to an ambulance, where she was placed in the care of paramedics.

The road eventually cleared at around 5.40pm.
