I believe he went to hospital with an injured wrist but it wasn't serious, not sure if this changed after he got there.

Whoops! Another MAN bites the dust!
Why was a USAR unit responding to an RTA?

The driver is fit and well and the paperwork begins.
The USAR attendance was made because the RTA occurred inside the Rotherhithe Tunnel and there's a USAR PDA to incidents in tunnels.
