A DRIVER and two passengers had to scramble to safety when their van careered off the road and landed in a ditch.

The emergency services were called shortly before 1pm on Tuesday to the A228 near the Hop Farm Country Park at Beltring, near East Peckham, where the white Dispense Solutions Ltd van had left the road.

Two men were treated for their injuries on the roadside while a 42-year-old man was taken to Maidstone Hospital with a foot injury.
