A man has been taken to hospital after being thrown 12ft through the air from a motocross bike.

Emergency services, including the air ambulance, were called to Sammy Slides MC Track, near Maidstone.

Reports from the ambulance services suggest a man in his 30s fell 12ft from a bike.

He suffered back injuries but remained fully conscious while paramedics treated him at the scene, off Ashford Road in Broomfield.

He was taken by road ambulance to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford for further treatment.

It is unclear how the incident on Monday happened, but rally track owners alleged the man didn't have permission to use the bike.

Owner Dennis Slythe said he was visiting with his son and an investigation has been launched.
