Year 11 schoolboys among six injured in horror Lamborghini crash with Royal Mail van

A Lamborghini Urus that ploughed head-first into a Royal Mail van and left six people injured in a horror crash was hired by a group of teens to take them to prom, it was reported last night.

The schoolboys, who are believed to be Year 11 pupils from Stepney All Saints School in east London, were passengers in the £187,000 luxury car which was reportedly driven by a man in his 20s.

A letter sent to parents said that although some of the students were injured and there were no deaths, the Mirror newspaper reported.

Chilling dashcam footage caught the incident, where the blue supercar can be seen careering in and out of traffic on Royal Dock Road in Beckton on Tuesday. After running close a few times, the vehicle appears to pull out into the opposite lane to overtake and ploughs straight into the van.

The horror smash happened at around 7.20pm on Royal Dock Road in Beckton, with images showing the front of the £187,000 supercar completely destroyed 

Footage after the horror smash at around 7.20pm shows the expensive sports car and delivery van written off with severe damage to both of the front bonnets.

An email from Stepney All Saints School’s headmaster Paul Woods to parents the day after the incident said: ‘You may be aware of a car accident that took place yesterday evening involving some of our students. Our staff have been in contact with the families of those students who were involved as passengers of the vehicle.

‘I can confirm that although there are some injuries to our students, thankfully there are no fatalities. This has been confirmed to me this morning by the Metropolitan Police.’

The voluntary aided school changed its name in 2020 during the George Floyd protests to remove the name of Sir John Cass due to his links to the slave trade.

The Lamborghini driver was in his 20s, while the van driver the car crashed into was in his 40s

Emergency services including the police, London Ambulance Service, and London’s Air Ambulance rushed to the scene on Tuesday evening. Six people were treated for injuries although none are in a life-threatening condition. The Lamborghini driver was in his 20s, while the van driver the car crashed into was in his 40s.

Road closures were put in place in the vicinity while police dealt with the aftermath of the crash.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘Police were called at 19:22hrs on Tuesday, July 12 to reports of a collision involving two cars in Royal Dock Road, Beckton.

‘Officers attended along with the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance. Six people were taken to hospital where their injuries were assessed as not life-threatening. There have been no arrests and enquiries are ongoing.’
