A pensioner suffered pelvic injuries and was taken to hospital by air ambulance after a road accident this morning.
The London Ambulance Service (LAS) were called at about 11.30am today (October 1) to reports of an accident involving a car and a pedestrian in Greenford Road.
A spokeswoman from LAS said: "We sent a duty officer, an ambulance crew and London's Air Ambulance to the scene to treat a man reported to be in his 80s for pelvic injuries. He was taken to the Royal London hospital by air ambulance."
Albertina McNeill of Bennetts Avenue , Greenford, said she was walking home when she realised traffic had stopped going northbound at the junction between Ingram Way and Greenford Road.
She said traffic was backed up in both directions, that an air ambulance took off from Oldfield Recreation Ground, and that there were lots of police on the scene.
A spokesman from the Metropolitan Police Service said: "When police arrived they found an elderly man, who had been in collision with a car, being treated for a non life threatening hip injury by LAS.
"The air ambulance attended the location and transported the man to an east London hospital.
"Road traffic management measures were deployed."
