A man was cut from his car this morning following a serious crash in Maidstone.

A car smashed into a telegraph pole at the top of Farleigh Hill, Tovil, just before 7.30am.

It has forced Kent Police to close the road in both directions from the junction with Burial Ground Lane, with emergency services still working at the scene.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service used hydraulic cutting equipment to remove him from the vehicle.

Two crews attended and both have since left the scene.
