Police had to close a road today after a car hit a telegraph pole.

The accident happened on the A262 Cranbrook Road at Goudhurst.

The driver, a 19-year-old woman, and her 21-year-old passenger were safely out of the car by the time fire crews were on the scene.

They were checked by paramedics but were uninjured.

Firefighters set up a cordon, due to the damaged electrical cable and pole and police closed the road while UK Power Networks made the scene safe.
