The Metropolitan Police completed a large scale response to the incident, in which a crane was needed to pick cars up.

Kazem, 23, of Costons Avenue, Greenford, has been bailed to appear at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on January 10.

An inquest opened in August into Ms Ozden’s death heard she had lived in Finchley and was born in Baghdad, Iraq.
