A teenage boy has been left with "life-changing" injuries after he was hit by a car in east London last night.
Paramedics treated the stricken 17-year-old on the side of Clapton Common, near the junction with Darenth Road, just before midnight.
Photos from the scene showed a string of ambulances and police cars in the road, while a group of concerned locals looked on.
Another picture showed a large pair of headphones and mobile phone lying beside the boy.
Further images showed the car with part of its windscreen smashed by the impact.
A spokesman for the Met Police said they were called to reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian at 11.52pm.
The teenager suffered a head injury in the collision.
He was rushed to an east London hospital where he remains with life changing injuries, police said.
The car driver stopped at the scene and was not arrested.
He is currently helping police with their enquiries.
