They added: “The driver and passenger of the second vehicle made off from the scene prior to police arrival.”
Transport for London (TfL) is reporting that the A124 is closed at the junction with Burges Road.
It is advising road users to follow an alternative route but said traffic is “flowing well” on diversion.
Three bus routes are also being diverted, according to TfL.
These are numbers 5, which runs between Romford and Canning Town, the 238, which goes between Stratford and Barking, and the 325 which runs between Beckton and the Royal Docks.
