A DRIVER was taken to hospital yesterday (Thursday) following a crash with a police car in Northwood Hills.

Emergency services were called to the scene on Joel Street at about 3.20pm after a Ford Fiesta collided with a police car before smashing into two other parked cars.

The driver of the Fiesta was taken to Hillingdon Hospital with minor injuries and one of the two police officers in the other car also sustained minor injuries but did not need hospital treatment.

Joel Street was closed off between Norwich Road and Colchester Road from 3.30pm until 5.05pm.

Traffic officers are investigating the circumstances of the crash.

This was the second crash involving police on the borough's roads in less than a week.

A police van crashed into a bus on Hillingdon Road, Uxbridge, on Monday and police are still investigating.
