A woman was knocked from her bike and injured her head in Twickenham Road.

The road was in gridlock after a woman suffered an accident by West Middlesex Hospital at about 3.20pm yesterday.

A spokeswoman from the London Ambulance Service said they were called to reports of a road traffic collision.

She said: “We sent an ambulance crew, an incident response officer and our hazardous area response team to the scene, alongside London’s Air Ambulance.

“We treated a woman at the scene for a head injury and took her as a priority to a hospital in central London.”

Harry Hayden, 23, walked by the scene and saw the woman lying in the road with her bicycle.

He said: “It’s quite bad, a lot of traffic heading towards Twickenham.

“An old lady fell off her bike and I saw her lying on the ground in the middle of the road and it is causing quite a lot of traffic.

“I didn’t see one but I think the ambulance must have been on its way as she looked hurt.

“There was no car.”

@CFarnan Twickenham road someone either fallen off their bike or been hit. Laying on floor - closing one side of road so traffic is bad too
