Richard Ayoade has reportedly been involved in a car crash in south-east London.
The incident occurred in East Dulwich on Saturday (June 13), with a Renault apparently hitting a woman and striking another woman, while also hitting a Mercedes SUV that Ayoade was driving.
According to The Sun , Ayoade was seen clutching his neck while getting out of his vehicle, while the area was “swarmed” with paramedics and police, with Ayoade talking to the latter. The cars were later towed away.
Pedestrians were also taken to hospital, though nobody suffered life-changing or life-threatening injuries, according to the Met Police – who are investigating the incident.
“We treated two women at the scene before taking them to a major trauma centre,” the London Ambulance Service said.
A witness added: “The Renault came speeding along the road and hit a woman — she ended up on the other side of the roundabout. Then the Renault hit Richard Ayoade’s car.
“It smashed straight into the side of his vehicle and then managed to hit another woman. We heard one of the pedestrians who was hit screaming and crying.”
Ayoade is known for his TV comedy work, including Last One Laughing: UK recently, as well as his work as a director of films such as Submarine and The Double .
