One person is in hospital in life-threatening condition following a collision on Oxford Street between Clarke and Industrial Roads in east London on Wednesday night.

The crash involved a vehicle and motorcycle, according to the London Police Service (LPS), and emergency crews arrived on scene at around 5:30 p.m.

"Two individuals were transported to hospital, one with life threatening injuries and one with non-life threatening injuries," a spokesperson for LPS said.

"The cause of the collision, as well of the the circumstances that led up to it, is still under investigation by members of our Road Safety Section."

That stretch of Oxford Street remained closed Wednesday evening as police remained on-scene to investigate the collision.

The road was fully reopened in both direction at 11 p.m.
