Road traffic accident (RTA). Police investigator at the scene of a car crash. Police tape has been used to cordon off the area for investigation. The police will try to find out what caused the crash, and this may lead to criminal charges against an offender. The front of the car has been severely damaged by the impact, and the car is likely to be scrapped. Sand has been spread on the road (lower right) to absorb petrol and oil leaking from the car. Inflated airbags are seen inside the car, and may have helped prevent or reduce injury to the driver and front-seat passenger. Photographed near King's Cross Thameslink train station, London, UK.
