Emergency services had to rescue and treat a man who crashed into two stationary cars earlier this morning.

Two fire crews went to Westfield Road in Margate just after midnight and found a man in his 60s had crashed into parked cars.

The driver managed to free himself but a female passenger needed to be rescued, with the help of paramedics.

Both of the casualties were given first aid and handed over to ambulance crews and later taken to hospital for further treatment.

The scene had been cleared by 1am.

Police were also called to the accident.

Spokesman Natalie Hardy said: "Officers attended the scene along with the South East Coast Ambulance Service and Kent Fire and Rescue Service following a report of minor injuries to a woman."
