Jaw-dropping second dashing BMW crashes into the entrance of a home
Jaw-dropping CCTV footage captured the moment a speeding BMW crashed into the front of a house and flipped on its side before the occupants miraculously clambered out unscathed.
The black BMW 320 ploughed into the front garden of a house in Bradford at around 6.15pm yesterday. West Yorkshire Police are now searching for the two people who fled the crash.
The shocking clip shows the car as it skid along the road before it hit the kerb and rolled over.
It eventually comes to rest on its side in front of one of the homes before three occupants get out of the car.
Debris is left in its wake as bewildered neighbours leave their homes to inspect what has happened.

One homeowner impacted by the crash, who did not want to be named, said: ‘It was about 6.15pm. They were driving and revving the engine, and the car just hit the property.
‘It flipped upside down and hit our house… They must have been driving at least 60mph. There are so many residents here, they could have hit children. Luckily nobody was hurt.
‘Ultimately, they didn’t care. They were walking around for a while. They put their hoods up and walked off.’
She added: ‘There was no concern for anyone’s safety and I’m worried they’re not going to suffer any consequences for their actions.
‘If it was just a metre off it would have hit into the door.
‘We had to evacuate the property. The fire service told us ‘you have to get out in case there’s any structural damage’.
Her husband said: ‘You could hear the revving of the engine from up the road. There was a massive thud and you could feel it shook the building. It was shocking.
‘I looked outside and you could see the car sitting on its side in front of our neighbour’s home.’
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire fire and rescue service said: ‘At 6.22pm on Monday, May 20 we were called to an RTC (road traffic collision) on Park Lane, Little Horton, Bradford. ‘A car went into a house. No persons injured. We made the scene safe’

Emergency services rushed to the scene, but thankfully nobody was injured in the smash.
The man said the fire service was ‘quite prompt and very fast’ to respond.
He said they turned off all of the gas and electrics and then evacuated their family from the home to assess its safety.
The husband added: ‘I’m surprised the car stayed together as much as it did.
‘It hit two metal frame fences but still kept going before it stopped. To cause this amount of damage to these properties is crazy.
‘We are grateful we’re all ok. It’s better the car hit the building. We were just lucky that nobody was hurt. We so easily could have been killed.
‘When the crash occurred at 6.15pm, that is the prime time for us to put the bin out for the next day.
‘Our neighbours could have been sitting out or working in the garden.’
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: ‘Police were called at 6.16pm yesterday evening to Park Lane to reports a vehicle had crashed into a house.
‘It’s reported two occupants of the vehicle left the scene before police arrival.
‘Enquiries are ongoing to locate them.’
