A man has been discharged from hospital after a car was plunged from a multi-storey car park at Luton Airport in London.
Emergency services were called to Car Park One around 11am on Sunday after one person was left seriously injured.
But a spokesperson for the airport later said the victim involved in the incident had been discharged from hospital with ‘minor’ wounds.
The vehicle slammed into the ground near the airport, causing disruption for holidaymakers travelling to and from the airport with cars diverted to different areas.
An eyewitness, who shared a photo of police at the scene on X, told Metro that officers said the vehicle had fallen from the second floor of the car park.
