TWO elderly men have been rushed to hospital after a crash in the New Forest.
A Mercedes driven by an 88-year-old man and a Volvo driven by a 74-year-old man collided this morning just before 9am.
The Mercedes flipped over and a power line was brought down during the accident.
Emergency services attended the crash, outside Newbridge Drive Cottages in Milton Road, Everton, and the 88-year-old, who is from the Lymington area, was taken by ambulance to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital with serious injuries.
The 74-year-old, who is from Christchurch, was also taken to hospital as a precaution.
Motorists are still being diverted around the accident, as fire crews attempt to clear the wreckage and clear up a fuel spill.
