Three cars ended up on fire after a Honda driver fled the scene of a crash and set the vehicle alight.

Police and crews from Thames-side fire station were called to Livingstone Road in Gravesend at 10.25pm yesterday, when they found the three vehicles engulfed in flames.

Officers believe that one of the vehicles, a Honda CR-V, was involved in a collision with another car in Stanley Crescent, off Franklin Road, Gravesend, two hours earlier.

The Honda failed to stop and was later set alight, which then caused the other two vehicles in Livingstone Road to catch fire.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference 22:1642.
