Police are appealing for witnesses to a three-car crash which left a man with life-threatening injuries.

The Serious Collision Investigation Unit were called to the A228 Maidstone Road at Pembury after the incident at 1am this morning.

The collision, which was also attended by fire and ambulance crews, occurred close to the junction with Old Church Road and involved a silver Audi A3, black Ford Mondeo and silver Peugeot 107.

All three vehicles left the road. The Peugeot overturned and the driver, a man aged in his 60s, suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital in London, where he continues to be treated.

Three others were also taken to hospital.

The road was shut between the A21 Pembury Road (Tunbridge Wells/Pembury turn-off) and Badsell Road at Five Oak Green, but has now been reopened.
