Overview
- A collision in East Dulwich on Saturday (June 13) involved a Renault, which witnesses say struck two pedestrians before hitting a Mercedes SUV driven by Richard Ayoade, though eyewitness accounts of the sequence remain unverified.
- Paramedics treated two women at the scene and the London Ambulance Service said both were taken to a major trauma centre and do not have life‑threatening or life‑changing injuries.
- Ayoade was seen speaking with officers and his Mercedes showed front‑right damage; both vehicles were later towed from the roundabout.
- The Metropolitan Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the crash and have not yet determined who was at fault.
- Early tabloid and eyewitness reports allege a speeding Renault caused the incident and some outlets noted Ayoade’s public profile, but further updates should be expected from police as inquiries continue.
