The dramatic scene occurred in Castle Vale, Birmingham, West Midlands, shortly before 3.40pm this afternoon, involving three cars and a van.

It is believed the red Porsche - thought to be a Cayman GTS model worth £55,000 - ploughed into a Vauxhall parked at the side of a residential road.

Witnesses claim the force was so severe it caused the stationary vehicle's engine to burst into flames.

The fire then spread on to the totalled Porsche.

Police and ambulance crews attended the scene, with West Midlands Police now searching for the drivers of all four vehicles.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: 'On arrival, crews discovered four vehicles that had been in collision, three cars and a van.

'It is believed that one of the cars collided with the three other vehicles which were all stationary and empty at the time.

'Two of the cars and the van were ablaze when emergency services arrived, but thankfully, it quickly became apparent that there were no patients.

'It is remarkably lucky that there were no patients to treat as the dramatic nature of the incident could have led to a much more serious set of circumstances.'
