Lengthy traffic delays on the A4 after the rush hour collision

A man was taken to hospital with serious back injuries following a collision near the Hogarth Roundabout this morning.

London Ambulance and police were called after reports of a collision just before 7 am.

A line of traffic backed up to six miles along the A4 eastwards between junction 3 and the roundabout following the accident.

Traffic delays continued for some hours along the A4 as far as the Hammersmith flyover.

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called at 7:13am to Burlington Lane, W4 to reports of a road traffic collision.

"We sent a single responder in a car and an ambulance crew to the scene.

"We treated a man at the scene for back pain and took him as a priority to a major trauma centre at St Mary's Hospital, W2."
