A 22-year-old woman who was killed in a horror Christmas Day crash has been named for the first time as Maria Carolina Do Nascimento Migel.

Three men have been arrested in connection with the fatal collision that left her dead at the scene. 

Maria was killed when the car in which she was a passenger was hit by another vehicle that police had indicated to pull over moments earlier.

Miss Migel was travelling as a passenger along Hendon Way, part of the Brent Cross Flyover, when her car was crashed into by a second vehicle in the early hours of Christmas morning.

A 32-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday December 27 on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

Two men, aged 29, and a 21-year-old man were previously arrested on Sunday December 25 on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and and failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

They have all since been bailed pending further enquiries.

The crash happened at around 3.45am on Christmas Day morning when officers on patrol in a marked vehicle indicated for a car to stop.

Police say the vehicle drove off without stopping, and the officers decided not to pursue the car.

A short time later the same car was involved in a collision with another car in which Maria was a passenger further down the road, and fled the scene on foot. 

Maria was pronounced dead at the scene despite the best efforts of the London Ambulance Service.
