Two people were injured after a crash between a car and a bike in Leyton.
Police were called to Flempton Road just before 5am this morning (March 11) to reports of a crash.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) also attended, treating two people at the scene.
A police spokesperson has said that neither sustained life-changing or life-threatening injuries.
Earlier, Waltham Forest Council advised drivers to “avoid the area” as Lea Bridge Road was closed off up to Perth Road.
