A Mercedes driver came a cropper after crashing into a tree this morning.

The car hit the tree in Oak Hill Road, Surbiton, at about 11am this morning, on what has been the wettest day of the year so far.

A London Ambulance spokesman said they were called to the scene just before midday and sent one crew, who treated a man, believed to be in his 50s.

The spokesman said: “He was taken to Kingston Hospital. He was not taken as a priority.”
