A 25-year-old man is fighting for his life after two high-power sports cars reportedly smashed into four other vehicles.
Local reports say an F Type Jaguar and Audi A5 were travelling at speed along the high street in Chislehurst, south London.
One driver is believed to have hit a lamppost.
Meanwhile the second vehicle ripped up a flower bed and metal bollard as it came off the road.
A Nissan Qashqai, a Volkswagen, a Volvo XC90 and a two-day-old newly delivered Porsche Cayenne, reportedly belonging to a local doctor, were also wrecked in the pile-up.
One photographer on the scene described the street as a "bomb site".
A Met Police spokesman said: "Police were called at around 10pm to High Street, Chislehurst to reports of a collision between two vehicles.
"The emergency services attended and a 25-year-old man was found seriously injured.
"He was taken to a south London hospital in a critical condition.
"A 25-year-old woman with minor injuries was also taken to hospital as a precaution.
"The driver of the other car is speaking to officers. No arrests. Enquiries are ongoing."
