It involved a red Audi A4 and a parked UPS van outside Media House, in High Road, just before 2pm.

The car driver, Yunus Afridi, a gas and electrical engineer, said that he was on his way to meet his accountant in Seven Kings when he swerved because he believed a bus was going to hit the back of his car.

He said: β€œIt is a heck of a lot of damage. I think the car will be a write off.”

The UPS delivery driver, David Wright, had delivered a package when he returned to the collision, but his van had little damage.
