FIRE crews were shocked to find an abandoned car on a major gas main on Cradley Heath High Street.
Someone had crashed the car into the roadworks on Saturday night.
West Midlands Fire Service was called to the scene at 11.27pm on Saturday night.
Haden Cross Fire Station crew tweeted pictures of the car.
They said: "This was the worst parking ever. And not the usual road traffic accident.
"This vehicle crashed through road works onto a major gas main. No leaks and car made safe. Driver had left the scene."
The fire service ensured the car and scene was safe before removing it from the ditch.
The gas and electricity board also attended the scene.
