Basser Hill in Lower Halstow is currently closed to traffic so gritters can lay salt on the road.

The action was taken by Kent Police after a car lost control on the ice earlier this morning.

One appliance from Sittingbourne fire station and one from Rainham were called to the accident which happened just before 8am.

The Volkswagen Passat collided with a hedge and the male driver had to be cut free from the vehicle and placed on a long board. He was then taken by land ambulance to Medway Maritime Hospital for treatment.
