Six people have been injured after a crash in east London between a Lamborghini and a Royal Mail van.

Police were called at 7.22pm yesterday (July 11) to reports of the collision in Royal Docks Road, Beckton.

London Ambulance Service dispatched “a large number of resources” to the scene.

This included six ambulance crews, two paramedics in fast response cars, two incident response officers and members of the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART).

An air ambulance along with a command support team also attended.

Six patients were treated at the scene by medics, after which two were rushed to a major trauma centre and the other four to local hospitals.

A spokesperson for Met Police has confirmed that their injuries were assessed as not life-threatening.

Clips of the incident shared on social media showed major damage to the Lamborghini Urus, that can cost at least £160,000 new, and the van.

Royal Mail has been contacted for comment.
