A man has been taken to hospital after his car collided with a telegraph pole this morning.
Part of the Ridgeway, which leads to the M25, had to close at the Robin Hood pub, Botany Bay, after the driver careered into the pole and into a ditch.
Diversions were put in place while police ensured the telegraph pole was safe and would not fall down onto traffic.
Believed to be in his 40s, the man was taken to hospital but the London Ambulance service said with non-life threatening injuries.
