A car wreckage has been abandoned on the side of a busy road following a collision in Raynes Park yesterday afternoon.

The driver of the vehicle was involved in a collision with another car in Bushey Road at about 3pm.

A man in his 50s was treated for a head injury but was not taken to hospital.

Councillor Andrew Judge, cabinet member for environmental sustainability and regeneration, said Merton Council is working the the police and the driver's insurance company to remove the vehicle "as soon as possible".

He said: "After an accident, it is understandable that the person responsible for the vehicle is not always able to have it removed straight away."
