Police are appealing for witnesses after a young man was seriously hurt in a crash involving three vehicles.

The collision happened just after 4.30pm yesterday on the A274 Biddenden Road near Headcorn and involved a black Volkswagen Golf, a black Ford Fiesta and a blue Mazda 3.

Firefighters worked to free two people trapped in one of the vehicles and the air ambulance landed in a field near the scene.

One other person suffered minor injuries.
