A 72-YEAR-OLD man was taken to hospital on Sunday after he was injured in a car crash.

Paramedics were called to treat the man, who had suffered injuries to his hands and chest, the police said.
Officers meanwhile attended to help with traffic management and close the road - traffic cameras showed access to Turnpike Road was still restricted at 4pm.
The road was then opened later in the afternoon.
The injured man was taken to the nearby Grange University Hospital for treatment.
