A driver operating a JCB digger sustained an arm injury after the excavator reportedly toppled over on loose soil in a field at Ladds’ Lane, near Snodland. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon.
Emergency services were quickly on the scene to assist the driver, who was injured when the digger became unstable and overturned. The extent of the driver’s injuries has not been disclosed, but it is understood that the injury was significant enough to require medical attention.
Local authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, with initial reports suggesting that the unstable ground may have contributed to the machinery toppling over. The site has since been secured to ensure there are no further risks.
No other injuries have been reported, and work has been temporarily halted in the area as a precaution.
