A man has died today after the rubbish lorry he was driving hit a bungalow in East Kent.

It's thought the 62-year-old from Herne Bay may have fallen ill just before the crash along Faversham Road in Seasalter.

A woman inside the house had a lucky escape - as she was in the back at the time and wasn't injured.

Police were called at 7.50am and the air ambulance also attended, but the man died before he could be taken to hospital.

A police statement said it's understood the rubbish lorry hit a parked car, pushing it into the bungalow.

But neither the lorry nor the car can be moved, as a building inspector has ruled that could cause structural damage to the property.
