According to neighbours, the lady who perished in the horrific Range Rover collision that left the £120,000 vehicle crushed on a London subway rail as she “raced” down the A40 at 120 mph “supposedly [is] a young mother with a six-year-old kid.”
On Monday at 3:48 a.m., a black 4×4 sped along the A40 Western Avenue before swerving off the road, driving through the metal gates of the nearby Tesla Centre parking lot, and slamming into a parked Tesla, which was home to a 56-year-old man. He suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.
When the Range Rover was finally flung over the public walkway, the mangled SUV fell on the rails of London Underground station Park Royal, which is still partially closed today while crews repair a platform damage, impeding the Piccadilly line’s eastbound service into central London.
A 33-year-old female passenger who died at the site, a 23-year-old male driver who is now in critical condition, and a 26-year-old female passenger who was treated for non-life threatening injuries were all passengers in the demolished car.
Katee Moore, 30, a local resident who lives at Baronet House close to the incident scene, said that loud engine sounds from a number of automobiles woke her up a few hours before to the collision.
‘At about two in the morning, I was awakened by a continuous hour and a half of traffic noise. She told the BBC, “There was a Range Rover parked nearby watching their mate in a BMW whirling around the circle.”
Later, we heard a terrible boom, and suddenly cops appeared out of nowhere. Many of us went to lay flowers since, according to reports, she is a young mother of a six-year-old.
An Uber driver who was a witness to the A40 collision described how he had originally intended to park close to the other motorist who had been hurt in the collision and how he “might have perished.”
The incident occurred while Nawaf Ali, 40, was putting his own Tesla into parking.
“I might have died last night, and my kids wouldn’t have a father,” he told MailOnline.
A remote camera on Mr. Ali’s Tesla caught the terrible moment the Range Rover slammed through metal railings, revealing it seriously damaged a number of charging outlets.
I had just parked and gone up to a white Tesla since I knew the driver was also an Uber driver, the man said. After a brief verbal discussion, I went back to my vehicle. I wanted to make sure the charging was going well.
“All of a sudden, there was a crash sound like an aeroplane. That was loud. When I lowered my head, this automobile sped past the metal fence. Incredible cacophony ensued, followed by silence.
I turned to look, but I was unable to see where the other automobile had gone. There was nothing but quiet. I had no clue where it ended up at the time.
Apparently [is] a young mother with a six-year-old kid, according to residents, the lady who died in the Range Rover horror collision that left the £120,000 vehicle crushed on a London subway track (photo, Park Royal after “racing” down the A40 at 120mph).
The collision occurred early yesterday morning, and an Uber driver who saw it said that the driver “might have killed.”
“The automobile crossed the barrier where I was standing,” I said. I would have been struck if I had been a few feet away. I still tremble just thinking about it.
The second vehicle was significantly higher when it passed through the rails and was in midair, so it missed the Tesla.
It was considerably worse than what you would expect from a horror film. It is unlike anything I have ever seen.
It was considerably worse than a horror film, in comparison. Never again do I want to see anything like that.
“I was supposed to get some sleep, but I can’t shake the memory of that girl.” My vehicle had to be left at the site, and I’m waiting for the police to let me know when I can pick it up again. Additionally, they want to make another point.
The A40 charging station was something I usually utilised, but I’ll never do it again. I just can’t bring myself to return there.

Having travelled from Central London, Mr. Ali had parked his Tesla at the charging station off the A40 Western Avenue after dropping off a passenger in Oxford.
He made the spontaneous decision to stop by the Tesla garage close to Park Royal station to charge his electric car for an hour before heading back to the West London house he lives with his two teenage daughters.
He claimed to often use the Tesla showroom’s exterior charging station since it is one of the quickest and closest to his house, taking just an hour.
I had just parked, so I crossed the street to a white Tesla since I knew the driver—he was an Uber driver, too. After a brief verbal discussion, I went back to my vehicle. I wanted to make sure the charging was going well.
“All of a sudden, there was a crash sound like an aeroplane. That was loud. When I lowered my head, this automobile sped past the metal fence. Incredible cacophony ensued, followed by silence.
The driver of the second vehicle was bleeding from his nose as I sprung to my feet and sprinted over to it. He was startled. I immediately dialled for an ambulance.
He did not seem to be aware of what had occurred, but he did not appear to be seriously hurt. I did my best to stop the bleeding while attempting to tilt his seat backward, but it was unsuccessful.
I turned to look, but I was unable to see where the other automobile had gone. There was nothing but quiet. I was unaware of its whereabouts at the moment.
Nawaf, a father of two, said that before the paramedics came, he was requested to “live stream” the situation to ambulance control.
There was a tonne of debris everywhere, he said. I was moving about when I came upon the young woman’s corpse. It was terrible. At first, I didn’t recognise her and wasn’t certain it was a corpse. I could only clearly see her as I drew closer.
As railings can be seen destroyed behind along the train lines, police are spotted on the scene this morning close to the Tesla Centre at Park Royal subterranean station.
At Park Royal Station in West London, where a Range Rover and a Tesla collided, rescue workers are stationed close to the incident scene. The Range Rover then swerved off the road and into the Piccadilly Line railway track.
I immediately went back to my vehicle after seeing that. It was excessive. I was unable to bear to look at it. It was much worse than a horror film. Never again do I want to see anything like that.
Naswaf, who was unharmed but experiencing shock, said that emergency personnel arrived quickly. He was given permission to go home after speaking with police at the site.
I was supposed to get some sleep, but the thought of that girl won’t leave my head,’ he added. My vehicle had to be left at the site, and I’m waiting for the police to let me know when I can pick it up again. Additionally, they want to make another point.
The A40 charging station was something I usually utilised, but I’ll never do it again. I just can’t bring myself to return there.
The woman’s surviving family members have been notified of her death.
Before police were summoned to the’mayhem’ at 3.48am yesterday, one homeowner told the MailOnline they remembered hearing a’mini explosion’ in the early hours of the morning.
A specialised train arrived at Park Royal station at roughly 1.30 p.m. to remove the damaged 4×4 over ten hours after the horrific incident. The damaged wreck was carried away on an open waggon after being loaded. Later that day, engineers working on the scene aimed to reopen the westbound Piccadilly Line between Acton Bridge and Uxbridge.
Earlier this morning, a Tesla was captured while police tape surrounded the area.
The Land Rover is seen on the track while Park Royal station seats are visible in the distance.

After yesterday’s incident at Park Royal tube station, a Tesla vehicle gets placed onto a truck at a Tesla facility.
I heard a tremendous smash, said Nada Alobaidi, 31, who also resides in the apartment building close to the station. When I stepped outside, I saw several police officers and an ambulance.
The smoke was thick. Since it was nighttime, I didn’t notice the automobile.
The A40 near Park Royal Station may be rather hazardous. Automobile accidents do sometimes occur.
As they roped off the area, police said that the Piccadilly Line and the A40 will be blocked for a “significant length of time.”
Officers are waiting for official confirmation that the deceased has been identified and that their next of kin have been notified.
The Tesla was parked off the road when it was struck by the second vehicle that veered off the A40, a police source told the MailOnline.
Unless there was a catastrophic mechanical breakdown, we’ll be checking to see whether alcohol had a role in any way.
The Range Rover sped up, drove through a metal fence, and struck the stopped Tesla even though it was not on the road.
According to a second police source, the Range Rover ploughed into Park Royal station after going through the Tesla garage.
The Tesla was still, they said. The second vehicle overturned into the Tesla garage and landed on the railroad lines after colliding with it.
One of the primary exits from downtown London, the western part of the A40, is still blocked up to all traffic.
Mr. Wood, a local homeowner, told the MailOnline that when the Range Rover veered off the road and into the subterranean rails, he awoke to a “little explosion.”
“There was a loud noise, almost like a little explosion,” the 61-year-old said. After a brief period of silence, all you could hear was the sound of a vehicle alarm.
I left my apartment to find out what had occurred, but I thought there had been a crash on one of the local highways. I avoided focusing on the track. A few minutes later, the only sounds you could hear were police helicopters and sirens. It was chaos.
According to Mr. Wood, the 4×4 could only have reached the track by taking off and flying over the flat roof of the waiting area at Park Royal subterranean station.
A hole in a metal fence next to the platform is visible in photos shot at the site from a roof observing the devastation. About 60 metres from the track, one can observe the broken remnants of a charging point.
Later, it was seen that the wrecked white Tesla, which had sustained significant damage to its rear passenger side in the incident, was being placed onto a flat bed truck and driven away from the site of the collision.
Another resident in a nearby block of flats said she was woken by the sound of sirens as emergency services converged on the scene.

One woman, whose flat overlooks the A40, told the MailOnline:’ We didn’t hear the crash, but then we were woken by all the sirens.
‘When I looked out the window all you could see were blue flashing lights. It was quite scary.’
Nader Nemer, 34, also from the block of flats, told MyLondon: ‘We were sleeping when we heard lots of fire engines and helicopters. My wife woke me up but I couldn’t see what happened.’
He added: ‘I usually take my one-and-a-half-year-old son to watch the cars from that road and we stand near to where the accident happened. We last did it just yesterday.
‘Thank god we weren’t there this morning, it could have been so much worse. My wife has told me to never take our son there again. It’s honestly very scary. I wish I could do something about it. It’s so sad that woman died.’
Kamila Elmi said: ‘I didn’t know anything had happened, I always walk down there to go the gym, it could have been much worse. This is our area. Now it scares me.’
Police were also seen on camera yesterday morning near the area when the guardrail collapsed just above the Tesla Center.

The incident has been reported to the Rail Accident Investigation Branch, according to a representative for the branch who talked to MailOnline.
Having examined the facts, there is no reason to believe that more RAIB engagement would result in fresh safety advice.
We can affirm that the road car was not hit by a train since it occurred while there were no trains in motion.
