A PEDESTRIAN has been taken to hospital after being injured in a collision with a car in Ringwood. 

Emergency services were called to High Street, close to the junction with Southampton Road, shortly after 12pm.

A spokesperson for South Central Ambulance Service said one ambulance crew was sent to the scene.

“One person was taken to Royal Bournemouth Hospital with neck and femur injuries,” she added.
