A PEDESTRIAN had to be airlifted to hospital following a collision in Greenford at the weekend.

The man was struck by a silver Volvo at the crossroads in Greenford High Street on Saturday, leaving a dent in the windscreen. He was attended to at the scene, before being carried to hospital via an 'air ambulance' helicoptor which landed in a nearby park.

The road was closed for several hours, causing severe disruption.

The man's condition is not known at this time but the Gazette will bring you more as we get it.
