A woman and a young child have been airlifted to the hospital following a collision with a car that occurred this morning in Rochester. The incident took place just after 10 a.m. when the pedestrians were involved in an accident with a vehicle.
Emergency services, including paramedics, police officers, and the fire service, swiftly responded to the scene, which was located on City Way in Rochester. City Way serves as a major route connecting the town to the motorway network.
