`Crash' on course for screening

The controversial film Crash, which has been described as depraved and wicked, could be screened in Britain by the end of next month.

Censors say that the film, which depicts sado-masochists aroused by car accidents and mutilation, should be cleared for release after certain cuts.

Westminster City Council, which imposed a ban on the screening of Crash in the West End of London, will reconsider after the British Board of Film Classification makes its decision.
