Two people have been taken to hospital after a crash which saw a car flip on its side at a busy roundabout.
Police and paramedics were called to Crittall’s Corner roundabout at the Sidcup Bypass shortly after 1pm and the junction was temporarily blocked near Sevenoaks Way.
Fire crews also attended and used cutting tools to remove the roof of a black VW Golf in the middle of the carriageway and release a man who was trapped inside.
Another white vehicle was also seen on its side.
This car has since been covered in police tape and moved to the side of the carriageway. The roundabout has now fully reopened.
