A woman died when the car she was travelling in crashed through a barrier, hit another vehicle and ended up on Piccadilly line tracks.

The driver of the Range Rover, a man in his 20s, is in a critical condition in hospital after the car hit a Tesla by Park Royal Tube station at 03:50 BST.

Another female passenger in her 20s was also taken to hospital.

A man aged in his 50s, who had been with the stationary Tesla, was treated at the scene in west London.

The damaged Tesla has been removed from the scene

The woman killed in the crash, aged 33, was treated by paramedics but died at the scene, Scotland Yard said.

The second woman in the Range Rover is in a non life-threatening condition.

Katee Moore, 30, lives in Baronet House, overlooking the scene and said she was woken a couple of hours before the crash by loud engine noises from a group of cars.

She said: "About 2am I was woken up by the noise of cars going on for about an hour and a half.

"There was a Range Rover parked up watching their friend in a BMW spinning around the roundabout.

"Later on we heard this horrendous bang and then all of a sudden the police were there.

"A lot of us went to put flowers down as apparently she's a young mother with a six-year-old child."

The crash happened in the early hours of Monday

Andrew Wood, who lives in a block of flats next to the station, said he heard a "huge bash" and "thought it was somebody breaking into one of the garages".

"The car must have smashed the fence, because behind that is the pedestrian walkway and it's come right over that."

Nada Alobaidi, who lives in the same block, said there was "a lot of smoke" and "a lot of police and an ambulance as well".

She added that the "A40 can be quite dangerous" and "car accidents do sometimes happen".

The A40 westbound is expected to remain closed for a long period of time, according to police

The Piccadilly line was suspended between Uxbridge and Acton Town due to the crash.

Transport for London said the line was running again with minor delays but eastbound trains were not stopping at Park Royal due to damage to the platform edge.

The A40 was closed for several hours causing severe congestion in the area but has since reopened.

The injuries of the man in his 50s were non life-threatening, police said.

The Met previously reported that the person who was with the Tesla was a woman.
