Fire crews were called out to tackle a car fire on a country road in Ashford in the early hours of this morning.

Emergency services attended the scene at Cheeseman's Green Lane, Kingsnorth, after reports that a car was on fire having gone off the road.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue service said: "We were called out to Cheeseman's Green Lane at around 3am after reports that a car was on fire."

"The car had gone off the road and was on fire when we arrived.

"It is still unclear whether it was alight due to a crash or if it had been torched."

More as we get it.
