A man was taken to hospital after a crash in Croydon this afternoon.

The incident happened when a Ford Focus collided with a Land Rover at the junction of Wellesley Road and Barclay Road at about 3.10pm.

The London Ambulance Service sent one ambulance crew who treated the man, believed to be in his 30s, for a hand injury and took him to Croydon University Hospital.

Road closures were in place as the vehicles needed to be removed.

Police said the clean-up work was almost complete and the road should be open again soon.
