A MAN was hospitalised and a road cordoned off for more than three hours after a collision in WGC.

Two silver Peugeots were in collision near the white bridge leading into the town centre just before 8pm on Friday.

A 206 driven by a 25-year-old man and a 308 driven by a 46-year-old woman collided on Digswell Road, near its junction with Sherrardspark Road.

The man, from Luton, was taken to the QE2 Hospital with serious injuries and was in a stable condition as the WHT went to press.

The driver and two passengers in the other car, all from WGC, received minor injuries.

Witnesses should call Pc Bob Hauxwell on 0845 33 00 222.
