The police helicopter was involved alongside ground units in a large-scale search for a man yesterday.
The helicopter was seen circling over Herne Bay after a man reportedly left the scene of a crash before speaking to officers.
The crash, which saw two people hospitalised, happened on the A229 at around 12.15pm.
It left a car stuck facing the wrong way in the middle of the London-bound carriageway near the Herne Bay exit.
Following the incident, a police team was sent to Herne Bay train station where officers, a van and two patrol cars were seen waiting at the Thanet-bound platform.
A train heading towards Thanet was briefly held before being allowed to move off.
It is understood that the man was later found in Birchington, near Thanet.
A police spokesperson said: "Police received a report of a collision involving two vehicles at 12.15pm on Sunday.
"Inquiries were carried out to locate a man who reportedly left the scene before speaking to officers.
"The man was later located in the Birchington area and inquiries remain ongoing."
