A car is understood to have fallen from a multi-storey car park at Luton Airport, leaving a man with what are thought to be serious injuries.

Bedfordshire Police said in a statement that emergency services were called shortly before 11am on Sunday.

Officers said the incident involved a single vehicle at a multi-storey car park at London Luton Airport, and that police, ambulance and fire crews attended the scene.

"One person has been taken to hospital with injuries which are thought to be serious," the force added, appealing for witnesses.

Images from the airport show a damaged barrier on what appears to be the third level of a car park, and what appears to be a bumper on the ground.

London Luton Airport said in response to queries on social media that the wider airport "remains open and fully operational".
