A police car was left with its bumper hanging off, after a crash with another vehicle while responding to an emergency call.

Just before 8pm yesterday, the car collided with another road user in Cecil Square, Margate.

A picture taken after the smash shows the front driver's side has been badly damaged.

The road was closed while paramedics attended, but reopened at around 10:15pm.

A spokesman for the ambulance service added: “Ambulance crews attended the scene.

“One person was assessed and treated at the scene before being taken to hospital for further checks.”
