THIS is the shocking moment a BMW slides across the road at high speed and rolls over into a front garden – before the occupants get out and flee the scene.
Video footage shows the black BMW 320 crashing into the front garden of a house in Bradford, West Yorkshire, at around 6.15pm yesterday.
Police are currently looking for two people who fled the scene of the accident.
The shocking clip shows the car skidding on the road, hitting the curb and colliding with a house before rolling over and crashing through a garden fence and a canopy next door.
It eventually comes to rest on its side outside one of the houses before three occupants get out of the car in Park Lane, Little Horton.
What remains is a pile of rubble as stunned locals leave their homes to assess the damage.
A homeowner affected by the accident, who did not want to be named, said she saw the men crawling out of the car “like cockroaches.”
She said: “It was about 6.15pm. They were driving and revving the engine and the car crashed into the property.
“It turned around and hit our house…You must have been driving at least 60 miles per hour. So many residents live here that they could have hit children.
“Luckily no one was hurt, but they crawled out of the car like little cockroaches.
“In the end, they didn’t care. They walked around for a while. They pulled up their hoods and walked away.
“There was no concern for anyone’s safety and I am concerned that their actions will not result in consequences.
“If it had been just a meter away, it would have hit the door.
“We had to evacuate the property. The fire department told us: ‘You have to get out in case there is structural damage.'”
Her husband said: “You could hear the roar of the engine from the street.”
“Our family was upstairs. My daughter and son were playing a game of FIFA when I heard what sounded like two cars colliding.
“There was a huge bang and you could feel it shaking the building. It was shocking.”
“I looked outside and you could see the car parked on its side in front of our neighbor’s house.”
Rescue workers rushed to the scene, but fortunately no one was injured in the crash.

The man said the fire department responded “quite promptly and very quickly.”
He said they turned off all gas and electricity and then evacuated their family from the house to check for safety.
The husband added: “I am surprised that the car remained so well intact.
“It hit two metal frame fences but continued driving before stopping.
“It’s crazy to do so much damage to these properties.
“We are grateful that we are all OK. It is better if the car rams the building.”
“We were just lucky that no one got hurt. We could have been killed so easily.”
“When the accident happened at 6:15 p.m., that was the best time for us to put out the garbage can for the next day.
“Our neighbors could have sat outside or worked in the garden.”
A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Police were called to Park Lane at 6.16pm last night to reports of a vehicle crashing into a house.”
“It is reported that two occupants of the vehicle left the scene before police arrived.
“An investigation is underway to locate her.”
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “At 6.22pm on Monday May 20 we were called to an RTC (road traffic collision) in Park Lane, Little Horton, Bradford.”
“A car drove into a house. No one was injured. We have secured the scene of the accident.”
“We sent one unit (fire engine) from Bradford and one from Odsal.
“The police have been informed.
“We left the crime scene at 7:09 p.m.”
