A woman has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a collision with a car close to Hylands Park in Chelmsford.
Emergency services, including the air ambulance, were called to the scene at the A414 Three Mile Hill at about 11.20am today (July 6). The road was closed for several hours before being re-opened around 3.30pm.
The collision involved a blue VW Polo. The injured pedestrian was taken to Queen's Hospital in Romford where she remains for treatment.
It took place yards from where the Cancer Research UK Race for Life was held in Hylands Park. The area was already badly affected by traffic.
There is no suggestion at this stage that it involves anybody connected with the event.
