A 47-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving after a crash in Sittingbourne.

Police were called to East Street, just after 10pm yesterday evening where a vehicle was found on its side on a roundabout near The Wheatsheaf pub.

Officers attended alongside Kent Fire and Rescue Service and South East Coast Ambulance Service.

Sian Betmead, who lives opposite the road, witnessed the incident. She said she called an ambulance after hearing a loud screeching noise followed by a bang.

The 20-year-old added: "I went outside and rang for an ambulance straight away. At that time, one police man was already there and the driver was shouting ‘I'm fine’.

"The man was screaming at the policeman to open the door which was actually the windscreen as the car had tipped on its side.

"Eventually we got the boot open and he managed to climb out. At this point there were roughly five police cars and a fire crew.

"I was just so glad the man was okay and luckily there were no other cars or people walking nearby."

Another person who saw the incident unfold said the driver 'put up a fight' and needed four police officers to get him out of the car.

Two fire engines attended and crews helped to make the area safe before leaving just after 10:30pm.

Nobody is thought to have been injured in the incident.

The driver remains in custody as inquiries continue.
