A fallen tree is believed to have caused a two-crash this morning.

Fire crews were called to Oak Lane near Jubilee Fields, Upchurch, just after 7am to free a woman in her 30s trapped in one of the cars.

Firefighters used hydraulic cutting gear to release her. She was taken to Medway Maritime Hospital by ambulance complaining of back pain.

A man was also injured and taken to hospital complaining of chest pain.

One ambulance car and two ambulances were sent to the crash.

A spokesman for South East Coast Ambulance Service said: "We believe a tree fell across the bonnet of one of the cars."

The fire crew was on the scene for just under an hour and used the “jaws of life” hydraulic spreaders and heavy rescue equipment.

Police were also present with traffic officers from Highways England.
