FOUR people were taken to hospital after a car crashed into a shop at a busy Southampton crossroads last night following a collision.

One person was believed to have suffered serious back injuries in the crash at the florists on the corner of St Denys Road and Adelaide Road at about 8.10pm.

Three other people were also taken to Southampton General Hospital with minor injuries.

The road was partially closed while emergency services cleared the scene of the crash which involved a red Ford Focus and a silver Vauxhall Corsa.
