Kent Police have issued an appeal for witnesses after a collision which left a man critically injured.

The accident happened at 2.10pm on Saturday in Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells, when a grey Ford Fiesta, travelling towards Langton Green for reasons yet unknown collided with a stationary vehicle, a grey Landrover.

It then swerved to the other side of the road and back again, leaving the carriageway, travelling through the verge and colliding with two pedestrians who were walking along a footpath.

One pedestrian, a 44-year-old local man suffered serious injuries and was flown to St George's Hospital in London, where his condition is said to be still critical.

The other pedestrian, a 32-year-old man, also from the local area, and the front seat passenger of the car, a woman in her 90s, received minor injuries.

The driver, from the Tunbridge Wells area, was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, but given immediate bail, so that he too could attend Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury for treatment to minor injuries.

He has been bailed until September 9, pending further inquiries.

The accident occurred near the Travelodge Hotel.
