A man has been taken to hospital after a crash in Lamberhurst this morning.

Police and ambulance crews were called just after 9.30am to reports of an accident between a taxi and a van in Dundale Road.

Firefighters used hydraulic cutting equipment to remove the roof of the taxi and free a man who was trapped.

The man in his 50s was been taken to Tunbridge Wells hospital in Pembury with suspected spinal injuries and a head injury.

The road was closed to allow emergency services access but has now been re-opened.
