Surrey Police confirmed that the crash involved a black Smart car and a stationary street cleaning vehicle.

He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Police closed Christ Church Road for several hours to carry out enquiries.
Anyone who was in the area around 11.35pm to 11.40pm, or who may have CCTV, dashcam, or helmet cam footage, is asked to contact Surrey Police, who are particularly interested in footage showing the Smart car’s movements.
