One person was taken to hospital after a collision involving a vehicle and a pedestrian.

It happened along Tonbridge Road in Barming, near Maidstone Stonelast night (November 6).

Police cars and ambulances were pictured at the scene at the Western Road junction, after being called to the crash scene at around 8pm.

Resident Andy Fraser witnessed the aftermath and said the road was blocked and closed all night.

“You weren’t allowed to walk to the Tesco Esso garage, which had also closed early,” he explained.

“Forensic doctors were on site. There were a few ambulances and maybe three or four police cars. I hope everyone involved is okay.

Over the years, Andy says he has witnessed many accidents on this busy road.

“A common cause is cars heading into town, waiting to turn onto Western Road,” he added.

“Other drivers are on autopilot and before they know it, they have rushed into the car waiting for them.

“It is also a blind spot when leaving Western Road and has also caused accidents.”

An ambulance service spokeswoman said: “Crews assessed and treated a patient at the scene before taking them to Kings College Hospital for further medical treatment. »

Police have been contacted for further information.
