Airport parking fall driver leaves hospital

A driver has been discharged from hospital with minor injuries

A man has been discharged from hospital after a vehicle fell from a multi-storey car park at London Luton Airport.

Emergency services were called to Car Park One shortly before 11:00 BST on Sunday and one person was taken to hospital.

The vehicle involved was believed to have fallen from the third storey.

A spokesperson from the airport said it remained fully operational and an investigation into the cause of the incident was under way.

On Sunday, people at the scene told the BBC the car, with one man inside, appeared to turn the wrong way when exiting the car park before crashing to the ground.

The East of England Ambulance Service sent crews to the site and Bedfordshire Police have urged any witnesses to contact the force.

The person involved in the incident had been discharged from hospital with "minor injuries," a Luton Airport spokesperson said.

"There was no disruption to flights, and the car park remains open, with staff on hand to assist passengers," the added.

"An investigation into the cause of the accident is now under way."
