A teenage boy has been taken to hospital with a head injury after a road traffic collision.

Paramedics were called to the scene of the crash in Forest Road, Walthamstow, after the incident at about 3.40pm.

The team treated a boy thought to be just 14 years old for a head injury, and an ambulance took him to the Royal London Hospital as a priority.

The accident left Forest Road blocked in both directions, causing traffic delays.

The Guardian has asked police whether any arrests have been made.

The road is yet to be cleared.
