A 23-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving following a crash between a lorry and a car in Harrow. Two people were taken to hospital after police, paramedics and London’s Air Ambulance were called to Kenton Road just before 6.30am today (August 9).
No one has been seriously injured, according to a statement issued by the Metropolitan Police this afternoon. Pictures taken at the scene show a smashed white car that appears to have ploughed in to the front of a builder’s lorry.
The bonnet is almost entirely crumpled, scattering glass and plastic shards across the road. The airbags are exploded, and the doors also appear to have been taken off by firefighters.
The driver remains in police custody whilst enquiries are made. Kenton Road was shut in both directions immediately following the collision but has since reopened.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “On Saturday, 9 August at 06:24hrs police were called to Kenton Road, Harrow following reports of a road traffic collision involving a car and lorry. Met officers attended the scene and assisted the London Ambulance Service (LAS) and the London Fire Brigade (LFB).
“There were no life changing or life threatening injuries reported. The driver of the car, a 23-year-old woman, was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving. She remains in police custody. The road has now reopened.”
A London Ambulance Service Spokesperson said: “We were called at 06:26 today (09 August) to reports of a road traffic collision at Kenton Road (HA3). We sent resources to the scene, including ambulances, paramedics in fast response cars, an incident response officer and dispatched London’s Air Ambulance. Our crews treated two people at the scene, before conveying them to a local hospital.”
Witnesses, especially those with dashcam footage, to the incident are urged to contact police on 101, quoting CAD1518/9August. Anonymous reports can also be made to Crimestoppers via 800 555 111 or the charity’s website.
