A pedestrian in his 20s died and seven people were injured in a crash in east London.
A Volkswagen Golf car hit the man and then collided with two other cars in East Ham at 2240 GMT on Saturday.
A police spokesman said the seven, including the driver of the Golf, were taken to hospital after the collisions with non life-threatening injuries.
The driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving but remains in hospital.
Ambulance crews were called to High Street North but the pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene, the spokesman added.
A London fire brigade spokesman said they were called to the scene after one of the cars caught fire and one of the drivers had to be freed from his vehicle.
Traffic officers are investigating.
