A man has been rushed to hospital after he was involved in a collision with a car on Kew Bridge.
Paramedics treated a pedestrian in his 20s for chest injuries before he was taken as priority to St Mary's Hospital, this afternoon (23).
The accident has caused major traffic chaos in the area with queues back over Chiswick roundabout to Hangar Lane.
Kew Bridge was closed in both directions for more than an hour, but has now re-opened northbound.
Southbound remains closed.
People who are set to make a getaway for the Bank Holiday weekend as well as the half-term school break should expect severe delays.
TfL Traffic News tweeted: "Kew Bridge is currently closed both ways due to a collision on the bridge.
"Please use another river crossing and expect delays in the area."

A police spokesman said: "His injuries were not found to be life threatening or life changing.
