Emergency crews rushed to Green Street this afternoon after a grey Mercedes crashed into a litter bin before slamming into a property, causing significant damage.
Metropolitan Police officers, London Fire Brigade firefighters, and paramedics responded to the scene shortly after the crash was reported.
Witnesses described a dramatic moment as the vehicle struck the wall, leaving debris scattered across the pavement.
Driver Escapes Serious Injury
The driver, a woman whose identity has not been disclosed, managed to avoid serious injury.
A bystander, who witnessed the crash, attempted to assist her while she remained briefly trapped inside the vehicle. Paramedics treated her at the scene, but it is not yet clear if she required hospital treatment.
Emergency Response and Investigation Underway
Fire crews worked to secure the vehicle and ensure the structure of the building was stable. Meanwhile, police officers launched an investigation into the cause of the collision, which remains unclear at this stage.
Authorities have urged drivers to avoid the area, as Green Street remains closed in both directions while emergency services carry out further assessments.
Appeal for Witnesses
The Metropolitan Police have asked anyone with information or dashcam footage of the crash to come forward. Witnesses can contact the police via 101 or report anonymously through Crimestoppers.
This is a developing story, and further updates will follow as more details emerge.
