A road was closed off in Gravesend last night when a man was cut free from his car after a crash.

Three vehicles were involved in the collision at around 9.55pm in Hall Road - just outside Northfleet School for Girls.

An ambulance crew were at the scene along with police and the fire brigade, who had to cut one person out of his car.

The injuries suffered are not though to be life-threatening.

The cars involved are believed to be a Mazda, Saab and Vauxhall.

The road - between Coldhabour Road and Painters Ash Lane - was closed while emergency services dealt with the collision and removed the vehicles from the road.

One witness said: "Me and my friend was turning into Mitchell Avenue and it happened seconds after we turned. I was lucky to not get hit.

"I looked back and saw smoke everywhere."
