She said: “He’s such a nice guy. I cried when I heard what happened because I was thinking about him. I saw him on Friday. “He is very generous, I call him an angel, I always say God bless you. “He is a family man. When he’s done, he goes home in his black Range Rover.”
The driver was “heading home from a party” when the accident happened
He said he understood he was on his way home from a party when the incident happened. He was said to be returning from a special weekend at The Wish Lounge in Park Royal, which is popular with Iraqi men. It is claimed that runners had been spotted in the area taking part in late night races. Residents of Baronet House, which overlooks the crash scene, claimed they heard racing before the accident. One man, who did not want to be named, said: “It’s just frustrating because cars are always running by the hookah.” A bouquet of soles remained near the Tesla showroom on Tuesday in the wake of the crash. Gurpreet Singh, a shop owner who works at Costcutter in nearby Hanger Green, said: “People are shocked. For someone to come at that speed – it’s scary.”
