Expand

This is the moment a speeding driver crashes a car into a row of houses and destroys a set of front gardens.

The black BMW 20 crashed into the front garden in Bradford, West Yorkshire, at 6.15pm on Monday.

The car skids down the road, hits the kerb, crashes into a house before overturning and landing in a front garden.

CCTV shows three people inside the car getting out and leaving the scene following the crash.

As people slowly start to get out of their cars, neighbors can be seen coming out of their homes to check out what’s going on.

According to emergency services, no one was injured.

A homeowner affected by the crash, who did not want to be named, said: “They were driving and revving the engine and the car just hit the property.

“It flipped upside down and hit our house … He must have been going at least 60 mph. There are so many residents here, they could have hit the children.

“Thankfully no one was hurt, but they crawled out of the car like bugs.

“In the end, they didn’t care.” They walked for a while. They put on their hoods and left.

“There was no concern for anyone’s safety and I am concerned that they will not suffer any consequences for their actions.

“If he was only a meter away, he would have hit the door.”

“We had to evacuate the property. The fire department told us “you have to get out if there is any structural damage”.

Her husband said: “Our family was upstairs, my daughter was playing and my son was playing a FIFA game, then I heard what sounded like two cars breaking.

“There was a massive thud and you felt the building shake. It was shocking.

“I looked outside and you could see the car sitting on its side in front of our neighbor’s house.”

He said firefighters turned off the gas and electricity to the home and then evacuated everyone.

He added: “I’m surprised the car has stayed together as long as it has.

“It is crazy to cause such damage to these properties.

“We are thankful that we are all well. It’s better that the car hits the building.

“When the accident happened at 6.15pm, that’s the maximum time for us to throw the bin for the next day.

“Our neighbors could have been sitting outside or working in the garden.”

Police confirmed that inquiries are ongoing to locate the occupants of the car.

Firefighters sent two fire engines to the scene.
