A MAN, believed to be in his mid-60s, has been taken to hospital after his car came off the A31, ploughed through a field, and landed in a stream.

The silver Ford Ka was travelling toward the Coxbridge roundabout, on the outskirts of Farnham, at the junction of Wrecclesham Road at around 11.40am today when it left the road.

A Surrey Police spokesman said: “The vehicle left the road, crossed two lanes of traffic, clipping a grey Citroen Xsara Picasso, which then collided with a silver Mitsubishi Shogun.

"The driver (of the Ford Ka) has been taken to Frimley Park Hospital after suffering what is believed to have been a medical episode. The drivers of the other two vehicles were uninjured as a result of the collision.”

The accident caused long delays between the Weydon Lane junction and Coxbridge roundabout. Road closures are currently in place and motorists are advised to avoid the area.
