Emergency services were called to a dramatic crash in Brandon Road, North London, on Sunday after a blue Audi, worth £60,000, ploughed down a set of stairs and into the front of a media building.
The driver, a man believed to have blacked out behind the wheel, lost control of the vehicle, causing it to onto the pavement, descend the stairs, and crash through the glass doors of the building.
The incident, which occurred shortly after 1:00pm, caused significant damage to the building’s entrance, including shattered glass and demolished doors.
Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service assessed the driver on the scene, who fortunately escaped with only minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.
