Krish Crash - 10/01/03
Krishnan Guru- Murthy had his Porsche written off yesterday after a van careered across the road and straight into the front of his Notting Hill home.

The van, which skidded on black ice, smashed his car with such force that Krishnan’s Porsche mounted the pavement and rocketed into the front of his home.

The incident took place early yesterday after the council had failed to grit the roads outside Guru- Murthy’s home.

This, however, was not the only incident, as later that same afternoon at least seven cars were involved in minor crashes due to the ice.
