Six school children were injured after crashing a £187,000 Lamborghini hired to take them to their end-of-academy party in London. The incident happened on Tuesday evening and the Police raced to the collision on a road in Beckton, East London at around 7.20pm.

We wish them a speedy recovery. “We ask any students who are distressed due to this situation to speak to their tutor in the first instance or for Year 11 students in particular, to contact school directly via their Head of Year.” A spokesman for London Ambulance Service confirmed to the Mirror UK that some of those involved in the crash were teenagers.
