One lane of the A299 Thanet Way is closed while emergency crews deal with a crash involving a single car.

Two people – a driver and a passenger – are believed to have been injured in the accident, in which a Vauxhall Mokka left the coastbound carriageway between Herne Bay and Whitstable.

Police, fire and South East Coast Ambulance Service crews were scrambled to the scene just before noon.

A Kent Fire spokesman said: "We were called to one male casualty, who was trapped by his injuries. The door was crushed in."

Both driver and passenger are currently being treated at the scene by SECAmb.
