Car ‘full of schoolchildren’ rams into brick wall before youngsters flee the scene
The driver crashed into a wall in a sleepy suburb in Luton.
Video footage shows the moment a car ‘full of school children’ ploughs into a brick wall before the youngsters jump out and run off.
The driver appears to have lost control of the blue BMW they’re in, sending it crashing into the wall of a house in Luton, Bedfordshire.
Dozens of bricks can be seen flying, while a second video, recorded by the home owner Angela, shows a group of boys jump out of the now crumpled car and run off.
One, with his hood up, then returns to grab his bag and coat before hastily fleeing.
A third video, also recorded by Angela, pans across the driveway to show police officers assessing the massive damage caused to both the BMW and the wall.
Angela posted her videos on Facebook and wrote: ‘Anyone wondering…. this is what happened to my wall.
‘Around 5/6 young looking lads have lost control of the car and come round the corner into the wall and left, however one did manage to come back for his backpack to make sure he gets his home work done.
‘No one was hurt luckily and apparently someone has been arrested so will be waiting on an update.
‘Thank you to everyone who stopped and asked if we’re okay and helped to clean up.’
She later added: ‘Actually sat here in tears again I was so frightened earlier.’
She also said her niece’s car was damaged in the crash, which is thought to have happened on Monday at 3.14pm.
Several people commented below her original post.
One, Margaret Tunn, wrote: ‘OMG how no one was hurt is a miracle, but the damage caused is just awful, glad you’re ok Angela x’.
The Metro has contacted Bedfordshire Police for comment.
