There was a major emergency response last night after a cyclist reportedly collapsed in a residential street.

Police and medics – including the Kent Air Ambulance – were called around 8.30pm to the corner of Shepway Close and Dawson Road in Folkestone.

It has been reported locally that the cyclist, who is believed to be a man, collapsed and died.

However, this has not been confirmed by the police or ambulance service, both of which have been contacted for information.

A passerby said they saw medics treating the cyclist in the road when they drove past the scene.

The air ambulance landed in a nearby park.
