A man has suffered serious injuries after an "incident" involving a vehicle at a multi-storey car park at London Luton Airport, police said.

The BBC understands the car involved had fallen from an upper level of the car park.

Emergency services were called to the car park on the airport complex shortly before 11:00 BST.

Bedfordshire Police said their officers, ambulance and fire crews were still on the scene.

The force urged any witnesses to contact them.

The incident happened at Car Park One, Luton Airport confirmed.

An airport spokesperson said "one person has been taken to hospital for further assessment" and airport staff were managing the vehicles leaving the site.

"Arriving vehicles are being redirected to the airport's mid-stay car park until further notice," they said in a statement.

"There is no disruption to wider airport operations."

East of England Ambulance Service said it sent a number of crews to the site.

"An ambulance, an ambulance officer vehicle, a rapid response vehicle, the Hazardous Area Response Team and the Beds and Herts Critical Care Scheme were sent to the scene," a spokesman said.

The BBC saw that the victim's car appeared to be on its side and wedged against the side of the car park building.

A crane was being positioned above it.

Not sure I've ever parked up at Luton Airport.

But to do that at Gatwick or Heathrow you would have to be going at considerable speed.
