A young boy was taken to hospital after a car crashed into a wall in Kingston yesterday.

The 10-year-old was taken to Kingston Hospital with head injuries after a car crashed into a wall in Fairfield South at about 3.30pm on Friday, May 24.

Veronika Zochova, a waitress from Fairfield South, into whose front wall the car crashed, said: “I didn't see the accident, but I couldn't believe it when I saw the car in front of the house.”

John Dines, 24, an analyst from Fairfield South, said: “I saw it from about 100m away.

“Traffic had stopped here, and it went into the side of another car.

“Paramedics took about three minutes to get here and they closed the road. There were about three police cars and an ambulance.”

He said the car mounted the pavement before it crashed into the wall and the boy had a cut on his head and blood on his face.

A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 3.30pm to reports of a road traffic collision.

“We sent a single responder and one ambulance crew.

“Our staff treated one patient – a 10-year-old boy for head injuries. He was taken to Kingston Hospital.”
