A driver is fighting for his life in hospital today after a car crash during the morning rush hour at a busy junction in north London.

The 21-year-old man is in a critical condition after his white Smart car collided with a grey Citroën C4 on Lordship Lane at the junction with Downhills Way in Wood Green this morning.

He sustained a head injury and was taken to the Royal London hospital, a London Ambulance Service spokesman said.

The Citroën driver, a man aged in his 30s, suffered minor injuries in the crash at 8.30am, police said.
