THREE people are in hospital following a car crash which sent one vehicle skidding onto a pavement yesterday.

Three ambulance crews were called to John Wilson Street, Greenwich, at 2.40pm after two cars crashed into each other.

One of the cars was forced onto the pavement, crashing through heavy railings.

A London Ambulance spokeswoman says staff arrived within five minutes and treated three patients - one with head and shoulder injuries, a second with neck pain and a third with a wrist injury.

She added that the three people involved were all taken to hospital.
