There was a crash under the railway bridges 100 meters up the road from the cafe and a S1 very badly damaged as were other cars, emergency services were on the scene so I hope any involved were not seriously hurt

Some crackers out tonight was great to see so many! Have seen a video on Instagram of an accident. Not too sure what happened
Sad way to end a great evening.

the sheer amount of people at tonights event even took the cafe staff by surprise as they were run ragged, the car park and every street was packed with stunning fords, great success for passionford , as for the accident I went to the scene and waited until emergency services arrived but there were many 100s on hand to aid if needed, fingers crossed for all involved

arent all the roads around the ace cafe 30 limits??? someone driving like a knob and lost it??

I know it used to be the norm at the ace for people to drive like bellends but i thought considerable effort was made to clean it up to avoid closure??

Not a good crash. I tried helping the guy in the white S1 as much as I could. Helped him disconnect the battery etc.

The night was totally trouble free as all my events there have been and the Met Police were on hand to deter any antics which is always welcomed by me, it appears to simply be a genuine accident credit to ace cafe staff who assisted with the incident and credit to the many passionforder's who also halped out
