A man has been rescued from an Audi A3 following a crash with a lorry this morning.

The accident happened at 7.45am near the A228 Leybourne bypass and firefighters had to use specialist cutting equipment to rescue the driver of the A3.

The roof had to be cut off to reach the casualty, who has been taken to Tunbridge Wells Hospital by ambulance.

It led to the road being partially blocked southbound between Ashton Way and Tower View, but the bypass has now reopened.
