This was the dramatic scene after a car ploughed into a west London roundabout in a late-night crash.

Police were called to Neasden roundabout just after 1am on Friday after a car launched into a barrier and landed into a bush.

A man, 26, was arrested by officers at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.

Photos of the aftermath taken by police show the dark blue 4x4 with its wheels detached and bonnet crushed, surrounded by smashed glass and debris.

The busy road, minutes from Wembley Stadium, was temporarily closed by police whilst the fire brigade removed the vehicle.
