Police continue to investigate at the scene in Southbury Road.
Witnesses have told of a Ponders End “horror crash” where a woman was hit by a car and thrown into the path of a truck.
A woman in her 40s remains in a serious condition in hospital after the crash at a crossing in Southbury Road near the entrance to the Tesco supermarket car crash at just after 12pm.
Blood can be seen on the road where witness Paul Robertson, 34, said the woman was crossing Southbury Road when she was hit by an oncoming car and then by a following truck.
He added: “The ambulance came pretty quick and she didn’t look in a good way. It looked like a bit of a horror crash.”
Police have not arrested anyone in connection with the crash and continue to investigate at the scene, which has blocked Southbury Road in both directions causing congestion on the A10 Great Cambridge Road.

I am a Motorcycle Instructor and my 2 students and I were immediately behind the STATIONARY lorry.
The lady was crossing the road at the lights, which were green, when she was struck by a car which in my opinion was exceeding the speed limit.
She was thrown onto the bonnet and into the windscreen then forward into the STATIONARY lorry striking her head on the offside rear.
She then landed heavily on the floor.
I was the first person to reach her and she was unconscious. I spoke to her and reassured her etc before the paramedic arrived.
