A man has been flown to hospital after a crash left him trapped.

The driver, whose identity is not yet known, was rescued by fire crews after a collision with a car and a lorry at around 7am.

The incident in St John's Road, Tunbridge Wells closed the road in both directions, but has now been re-opened.

The man was handed into the care of paramedics and treated at the scene before being taken by air ambulance to Kings College Hospital with serious injuries, including a leg injury.

Motorists were advised to find an alternative route as the road remained closed for some time.

Three fire engines were at the scene earlier today.
