The police helicopter was called last night to try and hunt down a driver who allegedly drove away from an accident.

Pilots were searching for a white BMW following a collision with a Ford Mondeo in the London Road, near the Sainsbury’s supermarket and South Aylesford Retail Centre, at 11.30pm.

It was in the sky for about 45 minutes but could not find the suspect.

Police say their investigations ongoing and could not release more details about the accident.
