A pedestrian has been taken to hospital after two collisions on a main road in Northampton, which caused rush hour delays.

The first collision on the A508 Harborough Road happened at around 8.10am and involved a car and a pedestrian.

According to Northamptonshire Police, the pedestrian was taken to Northampton General Hospital but their injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

A second collision, on the same stretch of road – between Vyse Road and Holly Lodge Drive – then occurred at around 9.10am, between a van and a car. Police say this was a damage only collision.

The incidents caused rush hour delays on both sides of the road, as a closure was needed.
