A DRIVER has been taken to hospital after being involved in a crash in Tilehurst this morning.

South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) said it recieved a 999 call at 8.27am this morning "with the caller reporting a van having collided with an empty (presumably parked) car".

Traffic reports earlier today showed there was a closure in place in Mayfair both ways from Park Lane to The Meadway.

A passerby reported seeing a vehicle had overturned at the Mayfair Roundabout.

The van driver suffered a minor head injury and was taken to Royal Berkshire Hospital for further treatment.

Earlier today Reading Buses tweeted to say: "Sky blue 15a currently diverted between Mayfair and The Meadway via Park Ln and Halls Rd due to a RTC We apologise for any inconvenience" but have since said the route is now back to normal.

The road appears to have reopened now.
