A group of schoolboys were injured following an horrific crash on their prom night, it has been reported.
The Year 11 pupils, who are believed to be from Stepney All Saints School, had hired a £187,000 Lamborghini Urus to arrive to the event in style.
However, shortly after 7pm on Tuesday (11 July) night, the sports car crashed into a Royal Mail van while travelling through Beckton in East London.

Footage from the collision showed the blue Lambo driving along Royal Dock Road when it suddenly pulls out into the opposite lane.
However, as it attempts to move back into the right side of the road, it smashes into the red van.
Following the horrendous collision, emergency services raced to the scene, with six ambulance crews, two paramedics and a Hazardous Area Response Team responding, the London Ambulance Service confirmed.
