TWO people had to be taken to hospital last night (August 4) after their car hit a street lamp.

Both the passenger and the driver managed to get themselves out of their vehicle after it ended up on its side in Chipperfield Road, St Mary Cray, at around 10pm.

Their injuries were not thought to be serious but they were both taken to hospital for treatment.

Fire crews from Orpington, Sidcup and Bexley attended the incident.
