A 22-year-old man is in a critical condition following a car crash in Piccadilly Circus, central London.
The black BMW overturned early on Sunday and came to a stop on its roof near the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, known as Eros.
A second man, also 22, who was in the vehicle was taken to hospital, where he is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
No pedestrians were injured and no other vehicles are thought to be involved, the Metropolitan Police said.
The emergency services were called at about 05:30 BST to reports of the car ploughing into the tourist spot and overturning.
London Ambulance Service said it sent “multiple resources” to the scene.
A spokesman said: “We treated two people. We took one patient to a major trauma centre and the other patient to a local hospital.”
The area has been cordoned off by police and road closures are in place.
Piccadilly Circus – one of the capital’s busiest roundabouts – links multiple roads to the West End and attracts millions of people every year.
