It flew a man, who sustained serious injuries in the collision, to a hospital in London after the route was closed off by police.

And later that day, another helicopter was called to the town.

This came after police and paramedics arrived at a property in Western Avenue.

A spokesman for the force said: "We assisted the South East Coast Ambulance Service and an air ambulance following a report of a medical incident at a private address at 8.50pm."
