A BMW driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a motorist was killed in west London.
Detectives said at around 4.40am yesterday, patrolling police noticed a BMW was allegedly speeding in Northolt.
A short time later, the car was involved in a crash with a Ford Focus, which was being driven by the member of the public in Ruislip Road.
Emergency services were called to the scene shortly afterwards. The driver of the Ford Focus, a 47-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
No formal ID has been given yet but his next of kin have been informed and are being supported, police said.
Two men in the BMW, a driver and a passenger, both aged 25, were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
They were taken to hospital, and their conditions are not life-threatening. The passenger has since been released with no further action, police added.
Images taken from the scene show the roof of the blue Ford Focus has been ripped off while the front of the card has been smashed in.
The front of the BMW meanwhile shows it has been crushed, with its roof also missing.
Ruislip Road was largely closed yesterday as police investigated the scene but it has since reopened.
They are urging for any witnesses to get in touch with any information they may have.
