A moped rider has been hospitalised after a crash involving a car in Stevenage this morning.

A stretch of Clovelly Way was closed by police for about an hour after the incident, which happened by the roundabout at about 8.30am. An ambulance crew and rapid response vehicle attended the scene.

The female rider of the black Piaggio Liberty scooter was treated for minor injuries before being taken to Lister Hospital for treatment.

The road reopened shortly before 9.30am, after the scooter had been removed.
