TWO people were taken to hospital after a motorbike and a car collided in a village yesterday afternoon (Sunday).

Emergency services were called just before 4pm to reports of a crash involving a red and black Honda motorcycle and a silver Toyota Yaris in Baldock Lane, Willian.

Two people were taken to Lister Hospital in Stevenage with minor whiplash following the crash, which resulted in the road having to be shut.

Both were released later that day and the road was reopened by 6.30pm.
