The car crash sparked a dramatic street brawl between two women with one shouting at the other before pulling her by her hair in the street.
The appalling bust-up is understood to have taken place outside the Earl of Camden pub in Camden, North London on June 19.
The scuffle broke out after a luxury BMW sports car reportedly ploughed into a parked motor.
Swerving right, the vehicle then came to a halt at the crossroads of Parkway and Albert St.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "Officers responded to reports of an altercation following a damage-only road traffic collision in Parkway, Camden at 3.36pm on Thursday, June 19.
"Police spoke to a 19-year-old woman following an allegation she assaulted the other driver.
"The incident was resolved using a community resolution order - a process in which reparations are made following the agreement of the victim.
"No one was arrested and the matter was closed."

The shocking incident follows another moment of road rage when a furious driver headbutted a van's window and launched into a furious rant earlier this month.
In incredible footage, the hot-headed driver can be seen with his face close to the driver-side window of the other van, shouting at the motorist.
As other frustrated motorists begin to blare their horns, it appears to set the angered van driver off, inspiring him to smack his head against the other van's window.
And in May, a man stormed onto a bus to confront the driver who he said crashed into his car.

My autistic brother is stranded in Tokyo jail hell after drugs gang ‘sneaked meth into his luggage' on dream holiday
Vulnerable Sean was on his first holiday alone when horror struck HOLS NIGHTMARE My autistic brother is stranded in Tokyo jail hell after drugs gang 'sneaked meth into his luggage' on dream holiday Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE sister of an autistic teenager who is being detained in Japan on drug smuggling charges believes her brother was manipulated by gangs before he left the UK. Sean Stephenson, 18, from Charlton, London, was arrested at Tokyo airport last month with a suitcase containing more than 10kg of methamphetamine. 3 Sean Stephens, 18, is being held in Japan Credit: Ami Lee 3 The teenager has autism and had never been abroad alone before Credit: Ami Lee 3 His sister says he was adamant he wanted to go on the trip Credit: Ami Lee Ami Lee and her family believes Sean has been pressured and exploited by heartless underworld figures. He has multiple physical and mental health challenges and was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged five. Though legally an adult, Sean has a much younger mental age and is eager to make new friends - something his family say was taken advantage of. They claim he was groomed on UK soil before he was pressured into travelling, first to Portugal and then on to Toronto for five days. Sean then travelled to Tokyo and he was arrested on June 21 after he was found with a locked suitcase containing the methamphetamine. Ami last saw her younger brother on June 14 at her daughter's birthday party. Since then, she has been fighting to find out what's happening to her brother nearly 6,000 miles away and has started a crowdfunding appeal for £14,000 to pay for his legal fees. "My mind is a total blur- I haven't slept now for coming up two weeks," she said. "My life is really hectic, I'm looking after three children and I've now got to worry about my brother - I'm on the phone to Tokyo throughout the night. "He's on no communication so I can't get any contact anymore - I'm beyond worried now." New CCTV of Brit 'mule' Bella May Culley 'smuggling £200k of cannabis' released as cops slam her claims she was coerced Having never travelled abroad before, let alone by himself, Sean's disappearance stunned the entire family. "He kept saying he's going to go to Canada but we didn't really think much of it," Lee said. "I think until you've got a child that's autistic, you don't actually understand where I'm coming from with that." Sean then suddenly vanished overseas on Father's Day morning. Lee said: "He had never travelled alone before, and it was clear from our contact with him that he was frightened and confused. "We pleaded with him to come home." Soon after, his family received news that he had been detained in Japan and is now facing "consequences he can barely comprehend". Everything his family know about his movements is through the information provided by a solicitor in Japan, but his family cannot speak to him directly. Lee says that Sean was picked up outside a Nisa shop one morning by a man who had befriended him and escorted him to Heathrow Airport. Sean's phone and bank cards were taken and he was given a Nokia so he couldn't contact his family and arrangements were made for Sean to meet another man in Toronto. According to the solicitor, Sean received threats to "break his legs and hurt his family" if he didn't go to Canada. From Toronto he was handed the suitcase of drugs to take to Tokyo where he was told it was money to be dropped to a "friend", she claims. Lee then received a message from the solicitor on July 15 who said that according to the case record, the amount of methamphetamine he was carrying wasn't one or two kilos - but more than 10kg. She added that Sean has now been moved to a juvenile centre and could be potentially looking at over 10 years in prison. Lee said: "He's extremely vulnerable - his mental age is 12 to 13 years old. "He comes to my house, he plays with my children like children play. "He's very funny, he's very unique, he's so helpful and kind - he's my Mum's carer. "His nan passed away in February and was on palliative care - he did not leave her bedside and used to go and get her medication everyday from the chemist. "It's not an excuse because he's autistic and we understand he's going to be punished - but he actually doesn't understand what's going on. "How do I know if my brother's even going to come home?" Lee also said Sean has a history of self-harm, suicide attempts, and other medical conditions. 'Police have been disgusting' Sean's family don't know who got him involved in alleged drug smuggling and his sister was hesitant to speculate over fear of repercussions given the amount of drugs involved. But they say they reported allegations of grooming and exploitation at Plumstead Police Station on Tuesday, July 1. Lee claims that officers told her it was a matter for the NCA who then redirected her back to the police. She said: "The police have been disgusting. "I get that my brother has been detained abroad but a crime was taking place very close to his home. "He was picked up from the Nisa between 8am and 9am that morning and the guy took him in his car to Heathrow airport. "I'm just asking for CCTV of my brother at Heathrow Airport and the local shops to see who picked him up." When asked whether she had been able to obtain the CCTV, Lee responded: "No - the police say it isn't a crime, so no." She added: "They're passing the buck telling me to contact NCA. "The NCA laughed at me and said 'well, what do you want us to do?' "So both have been kind of saying it's not our problem." When The Sun contacted the NCA for comment, they said the matter is for the Foreign Office and that a criminal investigation taking place abroad is a matter for law enforcement in that country. They added that anyone wishing to report someone being the victim of the a crime in the UK would need to contact the police and that the NCA is not a public crime reporting body. The NCA can facilitate UK police to international requests but it would have to be initiated by the law enforcement bodies concerned. An FCDO spokesperson said: 'We are supporting a British man who is detained in Japan and are in contact with the local authorities.' When the Metropolitan Police were contacted for comment they claim to have no record of contact with Sean's family. This is despite Ami claiming she had visited the police station twice and was provided with a Crime Reference Number. The Sun previously reported how Australian national, Donna Nelson, was found guilty of smuggling 2kg of methamphetamine into Tokyo in 2023. She claimed she was the victim of an online romance scam but prosecutors sought a ten-year sentence and $30,000 fine after she was caught with the drug concealed in the bottom of her suitcase. Autism campaigner, Emma Dalmayne, who has launched a petition to help raise awareness of Sean's plight, said: "Sean is autistic, learning disabled and has a heart condition, he is extremely vulnerable. "The unpredictability and worry over what will happen to him will be causing him extreme anxiety which will cause harm to him. "Autistic people are targeted for grooming and mate crimes, what had happened here is a global case of county lines." Do you know more? Email

Drink driver, 32, told cops ‘I am f****d' after crashing into two parked cars and trying to flee with mum and stepdad
DRINK DRIVE SHAME Drink driver, 32, told cops 'I am f****d' after crashing into two parked cars and trying to flee with mum and stepdad Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DRINK-DRIVER said 'I am f***ed' to police officers after smashing into two parked cars and trying to flee the scene with her mum and stepdad. Chanelle Powell, 32, crashed her Vauxhall Astra on Station Road in Little Sutton, Cheshire, on June 23 while more than double the drink-drive limit. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Chanelle Powell, 32, was caught drink-driving Credit: Cavendish 5 She was found double the legal limit last month Credit: Cavendish 5 Powell crashed her vehicle on Station Road in Little Sutton, Cheshire Credit: Cavendish She wrote off one car and damaged another before being picked up in a van by her parents and driven away. A judge suggested Powell did a runner to avoid being brethalysed. When cops caught up with her moments later, she reportedly broke down and repeatedly said: 'I am f***ed.' Cheshire Police was tipped off by witnesses who saw Powell flee the crash scene in a Vauxhall van. The smashed-up Astra had one wheel hanging off, and another car, a BMW, was also damaged in the collision. Prosecutor Michelle Dodd told the court that Powell crashed into a BMW, which ended up nearly sideways on a wall. She said the main victim's car was a total write-off with over £6,000 of damage. The BMW ended up needing £500 worth of repairs and Powell's Astra was wrecked. Officers stopped the vehicle nearby and found Powell in the passenger seat looking visibly shaken. She gave a positive roadside breath test and was arrested on the spot. Paul Ince BANNED from driving as he pleads guilty to drink-drive offence The legal alcohol limit is 35mg, Powell's test reading came up as 79mg, more than double. She told officers she had been drinking beer after work because she was 'stressed' following a hospital appointment. Powell later claimed her mum and stepdad were just passing by and had picked her up 'to comfort her'. But a judge ruled she had knowingly fled to avoid being tested for driving under the influence. He told her: 'I am quite certain you fled the scene because you knew you would fail a breath test.' Cops were met by several members of the public who said the driver 'was clearly intoxicated' before fleeing. She confessed to drink-driving and failing to stop after an accident at Chester Magistrates' Court. She was slapped with a 16-month driving ban and a 12-month community order. The 32-year-old was also ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work. The probation officer said Powell had been working from home that day and drank three or four beers after finishing work. She was reportedly using alcohol as 'a coping mechanism'. Powell admitted it had been a 'lapse in judgment' and accepted that what she did was wrong. The judge told her she posed a danger to other road users that night and that her ban will remain in place until she passes an extended retest. 5 Powell now has a 16-month driving ban Credit: Cavendish

Inside UK's huge £25m EV boost for Brits who don't have a drive
The UK Government has announced a massive £63m investment package to help make owning an EV easier and more cost-effective, allowing Brits to save up to £1,500 a year Brit electric vehicle (EV) owners are set to benefit from a huge new round of government funding that will improve access to home chargers for everyone — regardless of whether they have a driveway or not. A new £63 million investment is set to accelerate Britain's EV revolution, taking a significant step in the switchover from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric. One of the central features of the initiative is a £25 million scheme for local authorities focused on improving access to at-home charging for households without off-street parking. Through cross-pavement charging technology, cables will be routed safely beneath pavements to connect parked EVs to home electricity supplies. This tech enables families to tap into cheaper domestic electricity rates at around two pence per mile, potentially saving up to £1,500 a year compared to running an ICE vehicle. The new initiative will build on the UK's ever-growing charging network, which has already reached 82,000 public charge points, with an additional 100,000 expected by 2030 through the government's Local EV Infrastructure Fund, as well as £6 billion of private investment. The NHS will also benefit from an £8 million fund aimed at upgrading over 200 medical sites to electric fleets. Health Minister Karin Smyth branded the move a 'win-win' that will result in 'cheaper travel for the NHS and cleaner air for our communities'. More than 1,200 charging sockets are being rolled out with the aim of reducing emissions and generating long-term savings for the health service, in turn allowing these funds to be reinvested in patient care. Hospitals are expected to save millions on fuel and maintenance costs. The government will also provide grants to help businesses nationwide install chargepoints at their depots. This move supports the transition of heavy goods vehicles, vans and coaches to zero-emission alternatives. Another £400 million, as announced in the spending review, will be used to boost EV charging along strategic road networks to ensure the infrastructure keeps pace with demand, particularly for longer journeys. To help drivers locate charging points more easily, signage will also be improved on major A-roads, directing motorists to nearby EV hubs — these hubs have more than doubled since 2023. Support from industry voices has been strong, with Edmund King of the AA saying: "There are more public chargers than people realise, but they are often hidden in plain sight. Increasing signs for the public network is vital to help the EV transition." This investment is part of the government's Plan for Change, designed to accelerate the move to net zero, back British manufacturing and create greener jobs across the UK, all the while lowering transport costs for families.
