An elderly woman remains in hospital in a critical condition after her car overturned near Bromley Common yesterday.

She was one of the drivers involved in a two-car crash in Hastings Road at around 2.15pm.

The woman, aged in her 80s, was rushed to hospital where she remains in a critical but stable condition, police said.

Declan O Donohoe was cycling around 30m behind the victim's car when the crash happened.

The 51-year-old said he saw another car pull out from a side turning in front of her when the vehicles collided.

Mr O Donohoe, from Bromley, said the impact "caused her to career across the opposing lane where her car flipped after hitting something."

He told News Shopper: "She wasn't travelling all that fast thats why when I left the scene it didn't occur to me that either driver would be seriously injured."

After careering into the opposite lane and almost hitting a jogger, the car came to a stop on its side, Mr O Donohoe said.

He said witnessing the accident was "shocking and out of the blue".

The A21/Hastings Road was shut yesterday from around 2.15pm until around 7.45pm.

Bus routes 61, 261, 336 and 358 were on diversion.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said investigations continue into the cause of the crash, and no arrests have yet been made.
