Three people have died and two more are in hospital after a late-night car crash at a retail park.
All five were travelling in the same car and are believed to be men in their early 20s, police say.
Emergency services were called to Staples Corner retail park in north London at just before 11:30pm last night (Sunday).
Three people were pronounced dead at the scene while two others were taken to hospital.
One is in a critical condition while the other person’s condition has been assessed as not life-threatening, the Metropolitan Police said.
It is not believed any other vehicle was involved in the crash.
No arrests have been made.
Inspector William Mcdonald, one of the officers responsible for policing Barnet, said: “Emergency services responded last night to what seems to have been a terrible accident.
“An urgent police investigation is under way to establish the full circumstances, led by detectives from the Met’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit.
“Officers are in the process of informing the families of the five young people.
"The families will be supported by specialist officers. I send them my sincere condolences.”
Road closures remain in place at the scene.
