Boy hospitalised by crash
A child was airlifted to hospital after a car was in collision with a bicycle in Harrow.
The smash between a blue Ford Fiesta and push bike on Courtenay Avenue at 3.55pm yesterday (17) closed three roads in the area.
Air ambulance took a 10-year-old boy to Royal Free Hospital, in London, to be treated for a suspected broken leg.
Traffic came to a standstill in the area and Long Elmes and Pinner Park Avenue were both closed off whilst medics and police were at the scene.

Was it really necessary to call the air ambulance and close off three main roads in that area when all the boy suffered was a broken leg and could have been taken to Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow by an ordinary ambulance.
Put yourself in that childs place been hit by a car by its self is a big shock and a frightning experience.By the way it wasn't only a broken leg, he had to have stitches down on the back of his head. The air ambulance only came to check if he had injured his head, and he lost alot of blood from the injury to his head. I am sure that if you were in his place you would want the best Dr to examine you and thats just what happened.
