Elderly woman taken to London hospital as car rolls over
Comments |
An elderly woman has been flown by
air ambulance to a London hospital with life-threatening injuries
following a collision near St Stephen’s School,
Canterbury this afternoon.
It happened in Hales Drive shortly
after 2pm when the driver of a silver Nissan Note collided with a
cyclist and then hit a tree, causing the vehicle to overturn.
The woman cyclist, who is a parent at
the school, was uninjured, as were the driver and a passenger in
the car.
But another passenger - a woman in
her 70s - suffered serious injuries and the Kent Air Ambulance
landed on the nearby recreation ground to take her to hospital.
Officers from Kent Police’s Serious
Collision Investigation Unit were called to the scene which was
sealed off to traffic.
They are appealing for witnesses who
should call 01622 798538 with any information.
St Stephen’s Junior School headteacher
Stuart Pywell said: “The emergency services dealt with it very
effectively and we were able to give our parents early warning so
children could be collected from a separate entrance.”
