A car left a scene of havoc on a Willesden street after it careered onto the pavement and smashed into a wall on Friday evening.

The Toyota vehicle became wedged between iron railings and the wall of a house on Cobbold Road after the driver lost control shortly before 3:45pm.

A child was travelling in the passenger’s seat.

Police and officers from the London fire brigade assisted the driver and young passenger at the scene.

The car, which had lost its number plate in the smash, was towed away shortly afterwards.

A spokesman for London fire brigade said: “Thankfully no one was injured and the incident was over for us by 4:10pm”.
