Two people are fighting for life and three others were injured after a Vauxhall Corsa ended up in a ditch beside a motorway during a horror crash in east London.

Police were called at around 9.59am on Sunday to reports of a red Vauxhall Corsa coming off the motorway and ending in a ditch on the A13 between Dagenham and Wennington.

Paramedics scrambled to the scene and found two people in the car suffering from potentially life-threatening injuries. They were rushed to an east London hospital.

Police await an update on their condition. Three other occupants in the car suffered minor injuries, Scotland Yard said.

Police have now launched an appeal for anyone who travelled on the A13 around 10am on Sunday who has footage of or witnessed the crash to come forward.

Officers from the Roads and Transport Policing Command are investigating and enquiries continue.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at Chadwell Heath on 0208 597 4784, Tweet @MetCC, or call 101 quoting CAD2499/10FEB.
