Today’s EastEnders left fans stunned as a huge car crash put the lives of several Walford favourites in grave danger.

The terrifying event happened after Priya lost control of her car and ploughed into the side of Max and Cindy’s vehicle.

But will everyone make it out unscathed?

Priya lost control of the car

Desperate to escape the flat where Ravi was keeping them all locked in, Priya announced she was taking him away from London.

‘Borrowing’ a car from the car lot, she got everyone in the car and began driving. However, Ravi worked out that Priya had tricked him and was actually taking him to the hospital. He started to lash out, causing Priya to lose concentration as she drove.

As Ravi shouted, Nugget then started having a seizure in the back of the car. Priya tried to help him, but as she took her eyes off the road, she accidentally swerved into the path of an oncoming car.

That car just happened to have Max and Cindy inside, who were bringing baby Jimmy home from a settling-in session at his new nursery.

As the cars collided, Max’s car flipped over and scraped along the street before both vehicles came to an eerie standstill.

Who dies in the EastEnders car crash?

EastEnders fans will be pleased to know that spoilers have revealed that no one dies in the crash. Tomorrow’s episode will focus on the aftermath of the crash, but it seems everyone manages to get out of the carnage unscathed.

Spoilers have revealed that both families are left shaken by the event. But Max manages to get Jimmy and Cindy out of the car and to safety.

Over in Priya and Ravi’s car, everyone manages to get out okay. But Ravi is still not himself and vanishes, heading back to Walford without his family.

Priya returns to Walford to find him, and it doesn’t take long for her to track him down on the bridge. She talks to Ravi, desperately trying to make him see that he needs help.

He agrees to get down from the bridge and back to safety, but will he finally accept professional help?

What else happened in EastEnders tonight?

As well as Ravi's mental health spiral that led to a horrific car crash, the Mitchells also staged an intervention to help Lexi.

Lexi's secret was revealed

After weeks of avoiding school, Lexi finally admitted that the reason she has been skipping classes. As the Mitchells gathered for dinner at Callum's house, Phil intervened and tried to work out what his granddaughter had been hiding. She eventually opened up and told him that she didn't want to be at school when Nigel died because she didn't want a stranger giving her the news. Phil made a promise to drive to the school and tell her himself when the time came, and she seemed much happier.

Sam tried to get through to Phil

After helping Lexi, Sam decided Phil needed some tough love of his own. Once home, she told him Nigel's pneumonia was getting worse. She revealed Nigel couldn't swallow his antibiotics anymore and that his health was declining fast. But Phil didn't want to listen, and Sam's words fell on deaf ears.
