A driver has been killed after his car is believed to have collided with a lamppost in north London.

The man behind the wheel died at the scene after the collision at the junction of Holloway Road and Seven Sisters at 7am on Friday.

Images of the scene show paramedics fighting to save his life as people hold up a tent around his body.

His black people carrier led on its side next to a smashed lampost.

A Met spokesman said: “Police were called shortly after 7am on Friday, 10 June to reports of an overturned vehicle on Seven Sisters Road at the junction with Holloway Road.

“Emergency services attended. Despite the efforts of paramedics and London’ Air Ambulance, the male driver died at the scene.

“At this early stage, it is believed the car collided with a lamppost.”
