A large-scale emergency response unfolded in Ashford town centre on Wednesday night, with police, paramedics, and an air ambulance rushing to Bank Street following reports of a serious incident.
The street was cordoned off near to Lloyds Bank just after 8:30pm, as multiple emergency vehicles were seen arriving at the scene. Eyewitnesses described a heavy presence, with at least two ambulances and two police cars stationed nearby.
An air ambulance was reported to have landed in a field behind St Mary’s Primary School, opposite Eastern Avenue, shortly after the initial emergency callout. Several residents also reported hearing sirens along Godinton Road and Hythe Road, as emergency services responded swiftly to the unfolding situation.
At around 9pm, an ambulance was seen leaving the area, heading in the direction of William Harvey Hospital.
