Car flips onto roof after smashing into Piccadilly Circus roundabout leaving two injured
A car has crashed into the Piccadilly Circus roundabout, leaving two people injured and causing significant disruption at the busy London landmark.
Emergency services rushed to the scene in the early hours of Sunday, June 29, after reports that a car had ploughed into the famous central London junction.
Images from the scene show the vehicle overturned and resting on its roof, apparently having collided directly with the iconic fountain at the roundabout's centre.
All roads leading to Piccadilly Circus have been closed, and the nearby Tube station has been partially shut due to the incident.
Two people were treated at the scene by paramedics from the London Ambulance Service. A spokesperson said: 'Our first paramedic arrived on scene in less than four minutes. We treated two people. We took one patient to a major trauma centre and the other patient to a local hospital.'
A police investigation into the collision is ongoing, and a substantial police presence remains at the site as enquiries continue.

Search underway for man who fell into Mississippi River
Ontario Provincial Police officers searched overnight but were unable to find a man who fell off his boat into the Mississippi River Saturday evening near Appleton, Ont. Police got the call that the man had fallen into the river around 9 p.m. on Saturday, a spokesperson told CBC. Officers searched through the night and then used a drone Sunday morning, police said. They were unable to find the man but did locate some of his belongings along the shoreline. When the local officers' ability to keep searching was exhausted, an underwater search-and-recovery team was called in sometime Sunday morning, OPP said.

Teen arrested for random machete attack in Winnipeg
Winnipeg Police say a 15-year-old boy is in custody after an unprovoked machete attack left a 68-year-old man with serious injuries on Friday. On Friday around 8:20 p.m., a man was randomly assaulted on Henry Avenue, near the Disraeli Freeway, by a teenage boy armed with a machete, according to a police release. Police say when they arrived on scene, a witness told them the 68-year-old man was walking past the Salvation Army when he was assaulted by a 15-year-old boy who was carrying a machete. Witnesses surrounded the teen so he couldn't leave and flagged down police patrolling in the area, police said. The teen was arrested, and police say two machetes were recovered during the arrest. The victim was taken to hospital in unstable condition and has since been upgraded to stable, and police say he requires surgery to repair the damage done by the assault. The 15-year-old boy has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon and was detained in custody. None of the allegations have been tested in court. More from CBC News:
