Three people were injured when a car crashed into an ambulance on a busy Bromley roundabout this morning (September 16).
Emergency services were called to the smash at around 10am after a blue MG Rover Streetwise collided with the side of the ambulance on Southborough Lane outside the Harvester pub.
The ambulance had been taking a female patient with abdominal pain to the Princess Royal hospital when the accident happened at the junction of Blackbrook Lane.
The patient, the ambulance driver and a paramedic onboard were transferred to another ambulance and taken to the Princess Royal Hospital.
Traffic moved slowly along Southborough Lane westbound as police and ambulance staff worked to clear the road.
London Ambulance Service duty station officer Graham Jones, who was at the scene, said: “The ambulance was transporting a patient as a non-urgent call to the Princess Royal Hospital when it was involved in a collision which is being investigated.
“We transferred the patient along with one of our paramedics who was complaining of an arm injury and the ambulance driver, who had knee pain, to another ambulance.
“All three were taken to the Princess Royal."
The front of the blue MG Rover Streetwise suffered significant damage.
