A cyclist has suffered leg injuries after a crash with a van in Tooting.

The Metropolitan Police were called to the roundabout at the junction of Garratt Lane and Wimbledon Road, near the Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium, just before 1pm today.

A spokesman said the cyclist was not thought to have suffered life changing or life threatening injuries in the crash.

One witness said: "When I saw him my stomach just dropped.

"It had only just happened. It looked pretty bad though."

A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said the man was treated for leg injuries and taken to a major trauma centre as a priority.
