A woman has been taken to a major trauma centre after a collision on a south London road on Monday afternoon.
The crash happened on Milkwood Road in Herne Hill, SE24. The London Ambulance Service was called to the scene at 3.28pm on Monday, 9 November.
Paramedics treated the woman at the roadside before taking her to hospital as a priority.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 3.28pm yesterday (9 November) to reports of a road traffic collision in Milkwood Road, SE24. We sent an ambulance crew to the scene. We treated a patient at the scene and took her to a major trauma centre as a priority.”
Milkwood Road runs past Herne Hill station, beneath the railway arches that carry trains through the area. The road is a residential street off Railton Road, close to the station entrance.
The ambulance service did not say what vehicles were involved in the collision, how it happened, or whether anyone else was injured. It also did not name the hospital the woman was taken to, or give any update on her condition.
A major trauma centre is a hospital with specialist teams on hand around the clock to treat the most seriously injured patients. People with life-threatening injuries are taken there directly, rather than to their nearest hospital, so they can be seen by surgeons, anaesthetists and other specialists as soon as they arrive.
Road closures elsewhere in London on Monday included West Green Road in Wood Green, which was shut in both directions after a crash, and Vauxhall Bridge, which was closed both ways on Monday evening after a crash there.
