They said there was one male casualty involved and that no-one had been trapped inside a vehicle.

Ollie Palfrey, who lives nearby, said: "The VW Polo on its roof hit the parked vehicles then flipped several times.

"People locally have said it sounded like an explosion. I live close by and heard several bangs. The lad walked away uninjured, which is good."

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police: "We were called shortly before 10.15pm last night following reports of a collision on London Road in Worcester, where one moving vehicle had struck a stationary one.

"Officers attended and road closures were put in place for a short period while the fire and rescue service assessed one of the vehicles. Nobody was injured during the incident."
