TWO people were taken to hospital yesterday (April 14) after their vehicle reportedly crashed into a parked car in Sydenham.

Ambulance crews were called to the scene in Trewsbury Road at around 3.45pm following reports of the accident.

Neighbours claimed that the incident may have been caused by the car's driver swerving to avoid a cyclist.

A 25-year-old man was taken a priority to the major trauma unit at King's College Hospital after complaining of back and hip pain.

And a second patient was also taken to Lewisham Hospital, though there is no detail yet on their injuries.
