“There was one guy hurt but I think he was OK. It’s a miracle that nobody was badly injured or killed.

“There were lots of people about. I don’t know what happened but we believe one car was chasing the other, rather than racing, or they were both trying to get away from some trouble.

“Either way, it was a very nasty crash and I’m amazed everyone walked away.

“People drive like idiots around here and these are all narrow residential streets with lots of kids and families.”

A third put: “Lawwwd I didn’t see that guy get taken out at the bottom of the screen. Hope he’s ok that’s mad!”
