A man has been seriously injured in a crash in Thanet - prompting police to appeal for witnesses.

A black Vauxhall Signum and a silver Vauxhall Corsa collided on the A28 at St Nicholas-at-Wade, near Birchington, just before 7am yesterday.

A man suffered serious injuries and was rushed to hospital.

Police now wish to speak to the driver of the Vauxhall Signum, who left the scene before officers arrived, to establish the circumstances of the crash.

They would also like to trace the driver of a white van which was believed to be travelling in the direction of Canterbury shortly before the incident, as they could have seen something which might assist officers’ enquiries.
