A residential street in Tilehurst has been left in disarray after a multiple-vehicle car crash which occurred last night. 

Residents have reported that at around 4 am this morning Monday, July 22 on Brunswick Street in Tilehurst a BMW came 'flying' down the road at breakneck speed and subsequently crashed into nine cars. 

Steve from a nearby block of flats said “At 4 am there was an almighty bang. A BMW just came flying down the road about 80 mph hitting about 8/9 cars.

"It was three girls and two boys and they all ran off after their airbags went off. I saw it happening and It was absolutely crazy.”

Video footage of the crash shows the car hurtling down the narrow road and smashing into a parked vehicle. 

The parked car's alarm then sounds and it starts to smoke. 

The silver and the black car depicted are owned by a man called Matthew who lives on the street.

He said: “It’s terrible really. It woke everyone up but I didn’t actually see what happened.

“This has never happened here before and it was just shocking. “As long as everything gets fixed and paid for, It’ll be ok.”

The police have been contacted for a comment. Their response will be posted to this article as soon as possible.
