A cyclist has been left with a serious head injury after crashing into a car in Abbey Wood.

Police and ambulances were called to Basildon Road shortly after 5pm on Wednesday to find the cyclist had gone into a parked car.

The cyclist was taken to a south London hospital and his condition has since been assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.

Reports from passers-by on Facebook have suggested the cyclist went into the windscreen of the car, and that a police cordon was put in place.

Officers are conducting enquiries into the circumstances of the incident.
