A man has been arrested after a crash in the morning.

High Road, in Harrow Weald, is currently closed northbound following a car and van crashing today (December 19) at just after 8.15am.

The closure is in place between College Road and Weighton Road as work is in place to recover the vehicles.

Pictures show a van on its side just near the Waitrose.

Metropolitan Police said that officers were called near the junction with Long Elmes and a man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

There were some reported injuries, although they were not considered “life-threatening or life-changing”.

Two fire engines and a rescue unit were called and cleared the scene by 8.38am.

Bus routes – including the 140, 182, 258, 340, 640 and H12 – are being diverted this morning.

Police say that enquiries are continuing.
