Two people were trapped after a taxi and a coach crashed in Forest Hill.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB), The Met Police and the London Ambulance Service (LAS), the LAS's Hazardous Areas Response Unit (HART) were all called to Perry Vale just after 9am this morning (September 23).
The LFB used cutting equipment to free two people who were trapped after the crash in Valentine Court.
The LAS treated one man, reported to be in his twenties, for back pain.
He was taken as a priority to King's College Hospital.
One eyewitness, who did not wish to be named, said: "I heard a thud which doesn't mean a lot to me because lorries often career down here and their loads make a lot of noise, but I heard a couple people say 'oh my god oh my god'.
"I went down and saw several motor vehicles, a couple of fire engines, one of two ambulances and three police cars."
The resident, from Perry Vale, added: "I think, from what I gather, because it's a bend here people do often go a little do quickly around here, someone ploughed into a wall, then I think a car went into the back of them.
"I know the car was cut open but I don't know about the other one, I hope they're ok."
Two fire engines and a fire and rescue unit attended the scene.
There were a number of road in place following the smash.
