Two people were taken to hospital after a crash along a major road in Romford.

Emergency services rushed to the A127 last night (August 27) at around 7pm, after a collision involving two vehicles at the junction with Bryant Avenue.

A car was seen on its roof by the central reservation.

Four people were treated at the scene, and two of these were then taken to hospital.

Michael Deon Burton, a former Havering mayor who was passing-by, said the area was taped off and the road shut by emergency services from the Gallows Corner roundabout to the A127 junction with Squirrels Heath Road - causing "substantial" tailbacks.

The London Ambulance Service sent ambulance crews, a paramedic in a fast response car and members of London's Air Ambulance to the scene.

Two fire engines and a fire rescue unit from Romford, Harold Hill and East Ham fire stations were also sent to the A127 by the London Fire Brigade.
