A TODDLER and a man were rushed to hospital following a road collision in Finchley on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old man was holding the three-year-old in the front passenger seat of a silver convertible Mercedes when it collided with another vehicle at around 1.15pm in Long Lane.

It is not known whether a seatbelt or any other restraint was used, but the impact caused them both to hit the windscreen.

They were treated for facial injuries by a paramedic and were taken to Royal Free Hospital in Pond Street, Hampstead, by ambulance.
