Freelance photographer, Ian Longthorne, told the Free Press: "I was on a walk in the area where we went to a nearby pub.
"We then saw a car ambulance, a fire engine and an unmarked police car fly by us.
"At first, we didn't think anything of it so we went to a nearby farm shop for lunch we went through the grounds of Chequers.
"There's a public path that can take you there and there's where I saw a car had crashed into the entrance bollards.
"When we returned a little while later, more police cars were there."
