Emergency services dispatched a huge squad – made up of an “ambulance, an ambulance officer vehicle, a rapid response vehicle, the Hazardous Area Response Team and the Beds and Herts Critical Care Scheme” – to the scene.
The vehicle fell from Car Park 1 and one man is now in hospital with “serious” injuries.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Bedfordshire Police said: “Emergency services were called shortly before 11am to an incident involving a single vehicle at a multi-storey car park at London Luton Airport.
“Police, ambulance and fire crews are on scene. One person has been taken to hospital with injuries which are thought to be serious.
“Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to contact police via our website or on 101, quoting the reference 121 of 15 June.”
A spokesperson for Luton Airport has confirmed that arriving vehicles are having to be diverted following the incident.
The spokesperson said: “Emergency services were called shortly before 11am following a single vehicle incident at multi-storey car park 1.
” Following the incident, one person has been taken to hospital for further assessment.
“Airport staff are managing the exit of departing vehicles.
“Arriving vehicles are being redirected to the airport’s mid-stay car park until further notice.
“There is no disruption to wider airport operations.”
The news comes just months after Chancellor Rachel Reeves gave a green light to the government’s plans to expand Luton Airport.
Labour hopes to double the airport’s capacity from 18 million to 32 million in an ambitious plan which would include the construction of a brand new terminal.
The huge project is projected to cost over £2billion, but the government hopes the expansion project will deliver a boost to the economy.
