Driver crashes into house and parked cars in Blackpool

A red Toyota Auris Touring Sport smashed into two parked cars before mounting the pavement and crashing into a home in Sutton Place, off Central Drive, at around 4pm.

Pictures from the scene show the wrecked Toyota next to the terraced home which has suffered significant damage to its front.

A yellow Vauxhall Astra GTC and a grey Volkswagen Passat estate, parked on the road in front of the home, also suffered serious damage in the crash.

Fire crews attended to make the scene safe and assess damage to the building.

A fire service spokesman said: "One fire crew from Blackpool attended the scene of a road traffic collision where they found three cars had been involved, two of which had made contact with two properties on Sutton Place.

"There were no casualties reported and the police were also in attendance. Firefighters assisted in making the scene safe and were in attendance around forty minutes."

North West Ambulance Service confirmed that "there were no casualties at the scene".

Lancashire Police has been reluctant to provide details about what happened, but witnesses say the car had reportedly been stolen.

At this stage, the force has declined to say whether anyone has been arrested or is being sought in connection with the crash.

"It’s just a damage-only collision so we wouldn’t give any further details," said a police spokesman.

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service has been approached for details.
