A combine harvester has ploughed through a 6ft garden wall causing a scene of "absolute devastation".

The incident happened this morning as the combine harvester was travelling on the A28 Ashford Road going out of Tenterden.

A huge metal section of the combine harvester swung across the pavement demolishing the garden wall of a property in St Benets Court, which belongs to deputy mayor of Tenterden, Cllr Sue Ferguson.

She said: “If anyone had been standing in my garden or next door’s garden, or on the pavement they would have been killed or seriously injured.

“It’s a scene of absolute devastation here.”

A police spokesman said: "Police was called at 10.31am after a combine harvester collided with the wall of a property on Ashford Road, Tenterden.

"Officers are currently at the scene and the road is blocked. No injuries have been reported."
