He was pronounced dead at the scene by the London Ambulance Service.

Another man who was in the Audi A4 was taken to an east London hospital where his condition is described as critical.

Two further men who were in the back of the car and are in their 20s suffered injuries. They are in a serious but stable condition at an east London hospital.
