Irish TV star Angela Scanlon has been taken to hospital following a four-car collision, according to multiple reports.

According to The Sun, Angela was treated by medics at the scene yesterday, and was then transported to hospital for further treatment. Thankfully, a source has said that she is doing “much better”.

A statement from the Metropolitan Police read: “Police were called at 09:32hrs on Tuesday, 14 September to reports of a collision involving several vehicles – including a private ambulance – on Bishops Avenue at the junction with Bancroft Avenue, N2.

“Officers attended. One person was taken to hospital by the London Ambulance Service. The road was closed whilst emergency services were at the scene.”

The Sun reported that Angela had been travelling in an Addison Lee private car, which collided with an ambulance and two other cars in the north of London.

The road was closed by police officers following the accident.

An eye-witness told The Sun: “It was a serious crash which involved four vehicles. It made a hell of a racket. Quite loud bangs.

“It was four vehicles in total. People looked shocked and shook up.

“The damage to the Addison Lee was quite bad and the ambulance itself had to be taken away.”

They added: “It was shocking. The ambulance arrived quickly and took Angela away.”

The Irish TV star is currently in the UK filling in for The One Show host Alex Jones while she is away.

Prior to her current gig, she hosted documentaries on BBC 3 as well as the property show Your Home Made Perfect on BBC 1. Additionally, she hosted two series of the reboot of Robot Wars.
