A WOMAN has been airlifted to hospital following a serious collision between a car and a pedestrian in Sparsholt.

The female dog walker had been walking along Stockbridge Road B3049 in Sparsholt near to the Lainston House Hotel at 1.05pm when she was hit by a Vauxhall Corsa.

Both her and her dog were injured in the crash which took place between Watley Lane and Littleton Road about a mile from Winchester.

The woman was taken to Southampton General Hospital with head and leg injuries while a vet is at the scene tending to the dog.

The B3049 is partially closed at the moment but a police spokesman said the road was likely to be closed in both directions soon.

No arrests have been made at this time.
