The air ambulance and three land vehicles were called to a crash in Horsmonden.

It happened in Lamberhurst Road, outside the Sprivers National Trust property, at about 10am some 300 metres from the village's central crossroads where there has been a long history of accidents.

Horsmonden resident David Caldfield said: "It was in exactly the same spot as another accident in April when the air ambulance was also called.

The air ambulance landed in a resident's garden

"That suggests to me there is something dangerous about the road at this point."

Lamberhurst Road was reduced to a single carriageway for around 90 minutes while emergency vehicles were at the scene and while the two cars involved were recovered by tow-truck.

Police said one woman received treatment but her injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

The air ambulance landed in a neighbour's garden.

Mr Caldfield said: "We in the village are becoming increasingly frustrated at the number of accidents and the reluctance of KCC, the highways authority, to take any effective action.

"Their attitude seems to be: if no-one is killed, there's not a problem."

KCC had previously installed red lines in the tarmac to discourage speeding.
