A HEAD-ON crash between two cars left both drivers without serious injuries.

The cars were driving in opposite directions along Forest Road, in Walthamstow, just before 3.15pm on Saturday (January 21) when they crashed into each other.

Police and medics were called to the head-first collision, closing off the road while the passengers were treated for injuries.

The driver's door on a black Vauxhall was left hanging from its hinges and a front wheel cleanly ripped off in the crash.

Both front seat airbags deployed in the car, with police reporting no serious injuries from both vehicles.

The passengers were treated at the scene by medics.

Police opened the roads over two hours later at 5.30pm.
