East Finchley was the scene of two major incidents within 20 minutes of each other last night (Thursday, September 12), with one man dying in a crash and another injured in a stabbing. Police have confirmed that the two events are not believed to be linked.
The first incident occurred at 7:42 pm on Colney Hatch Lane, where a man in his 80s was found unresponsive after his car collided with advertising hoardings near Powerleague Barnet. Despite police officers administering CPR before paramedics arrived, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation to determine whether any other vehicles were involved in the fatal collision.
Anyone with information about the stabbing or the crash is encouraged to contact the police.
Both incidents have caused shockwaves through the local community as investigations continue
