This is the horrific moment a Range Rover loses control before careering into a Tesla and flipping onto a railway line at Park Royal station.
A woman in her 20s died and three others were injured in the early morning smash on Monday off the A40.
The Range Rover - with two passengers inside - left the road and smashed through fences, stationary Tesla cars before“skidding” along a waiting room roof before landing on the Piccadilly Line just before 4am.
It is believed the Tesla was parked at a charging station at the Tesla Centre at the time of the collision, Metropolitan Police said.
Despite the efforts of emergency services, a woman inside the Range Rover died at the scene. She is in her 20s and was believed to be a passenger in the car, the Metropolitan Police said.
Another woman in her 20s, also a passenger, has been treated for non life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Range Rover, a man in his 20s, has been taken to hospital in a critical condition.
A man, aged in his 50s, who is believed to have been with the stationary Tesla, was treated for non life-threatening injuries.
Andrew Wood, 61, lives in the flats above Park Royal station and was awoken by the “horrendous crash”.
He told The Standard: “I was asleep but then heard an almighty bang. And then a car siren going off.
“I thought it was someone breaking into the garages at the back but it must have been the car on the track.
“Then all hell broke loose with police cars and helicopters swarming around.”
“It was one big noise then it all went quiet. It’s terrible.”
“They have set up a blue tent in the Tesla car park, not on the tracks, so maybe the woman fell out before.
“They are moving the car off the tracks now with a crane.”
The Tesla has also been removed from the charging station near Park Royal Tube station.
London Ambulance said it sent the air ambulance, three ambulances, two incident response officers and members of the hazardous area response team to the major incident.
The Piccadilly Line has been closed between Acton Town and Uxbridge following the crash. Part of the A40 is closed and cordons remain in place. Traffic is almost at a stand-still near the crash site.
A number of police officers stood at the cordon directing Tube users to other nearby stations. Some could be seen booking taxis outside the Hampton hotel just metres from the closed station.
Police said the road and Piccadilly Line were likely to remain closed for a “significant period of time”.
A resident at nearby Hanger Court told the Standard he awoke to the sounds and flashing lights of sirens in the early hours of Monday.
He said the incident was “very sad”.
Vanessa Riffin has been staying at the nearby Park Plaza Hotel.
“I’ve only been here about four days, I’m shocked. I can’t believe it, it’s really bad.”
Police are appealing for witnesses.
