Kent Police officers are appealing for witnesses after 8 people have been injured in a crash involving a double-decker bus and car.

The force says while seven were believed not to be serious, one man in his 60s was airlifted to a London hospital where he remains in a serious condition.

Emergency services were called just before 12.20pm on Friday 9 August 2024 to a two-vehicle collision involving a grey Lexus and a double decker bus on the A28 Island Road, between Sarre and Upstreet.

Officers attended the scene alongside South East Coast Ambulance Service and Kent Fire and Rescue Service.
