Five-Car Smash in East London Sparks Rush Hour Chaos and Hospital Trip
High-Priced Lambo Involved in Major Collision
The Met Police have launched a hit-and-run probe after a Lamborghini Huracan, hired from Limehouse’s hand car wash and valued at around £180,000, crashed in a five-vehicle pile-up during rush hour in East London. The supercar’s driver fled the scene, leaving one person injured and widespread traffic havoc.
Traffic Nightmare as Prestons Road Shuts Down
The crash forced Prestons Road to close both ways, causing long queues to clog the Blackwall Tunnel. Commuters faced heavy delays while emergency services cleared the mess. The Lambo’s owner, Andrew, is said to be “gutted” as the drama unfolds.
Shock and Injuries After High-Speed Incident
An Uber driver caught up in the chaos described the Lamborghini racing a black Mercedes before it slammed into his car. Firefighters had to rescue his passenger, who was taken to hospital with a neck injury and arm damage. The driver himself suffered minor injuries.
Police Hunting Hit-and-Run Driver
Officers are using DNA found on the Lamborghini’s deployed airbags to identify the culprit. Witnesses and anyone with dashcam footage are urged to contact the Met Police on 101 with reference Prestons Road E14 – CAD 6018/1607.
