Two morning crashes cause Warwick rush hour traffic build up

The first incident happened on the Banbury Road opposite the entrance to St Nicholas Park just before 8.30am this morning.

A 17-year-old male pedestrian is believed to have been hit by a single decker bus and was taken to Warwick Hospital for treatment on minor injuries, but is not believed to have been seriously hurt.

The second collision took place on Myton Road, near to Warwick School at around 9am between a red Ford Ka and a white Audi A1.

The drivers of both vehicles, a 47-year-old man in the Audi and a 27-year-old woman who was driving the Ka, were both taken to Warwick Hospital to be examined.

A nine-year-old girl, who was a passenger in the Audi, was also taken to Warwick Hospital for check-ups.

The two collisions occurred independently of each other, but due to the time of the collisions resulted in a significant amount of traffic congestion in the area.
