A collision between a motorbike and a car forced the closure of a busy Twickenham road last night.

A single responder and an ambulance crew treated the rider, who was seen by passers-by lying in Staines Road, at about 7.10pm.

A spokesman for the ambulance service confirmed a man in his late 20s had to be taken to West Middlesex Hospital with shoulder injuries.

No one else was hurt in the incident.

Police closed the road for almost an hour while they cleared the debris and diverted traffic along Gothic Road.
