A man was knocked off his scooter outside south Wimbledon this lunchtime.

A witness said they were not sure how badly he was hit but emergency services attended.

The A219 Merton Road Wimbledon was closed after the crash, at about 1pm today, outside a Tesco Express.

Thomas Tesfay, the manager of the Esso service station, said a customer had told him what happened.

They said a silver Vauxhall had hit a pizza delivery driver on a scooter, after a VW Transporter van had stopped to let the Vauxhall past.

Mr Tesfay said: "I think the Vauxhall didn't see him coming and went straight into him. He bounced back.

"I could see he was bleeding from his leg and the road was closed off. It looked quite serious."

The crash is near the place where a Toyota Prius flipped onto its roof after hitting a mini-bollard.
