Incredulous onlookers were left scratching their heads after an car appeared to have mounted a stationary vehicle in a residential street in Bristol.

Avon and Somerset Police said they were alerted to the incident shortly before midday when a blue Audi appeared to have driven up the side of a parked grey BMW car in Roseberry Park, just off the A420.

Witnesses said both police and paramedics on the scene, although police have reported nobody was injured during the collision.

A spokesperson for the force said: "We were called at 11.43am to a report that a car had collided with a parked vehicle in Roseberry Park in the Redfield area of Bristol.

"The road has been closed and officers remain at the scene while the vehicle is recovered.No injuries have been reported."

Woman's brand new car completely wrecked - hours after selling her old vehicle
Dashcam footage shows the moment a woman's brand new car was completely wrecked - hours after she sold her old vehicle. Adele Gough, 34, was running errands and had just come off Swindon's Magic Roundabout when a car hit her. Footage shows Adele driving along Country Road on the A4289 when a black vehicle suddenly veers off its side of the road and smashes into her brand new car. The collision destroyed the car and Adele spent the night in hospital with severe bruising around her lower stomach and whiplash on the back of her neck. Adele had purchased the MG Motor car less than a month prior and had only sold her old car earlier that day. She didn't press charges but she submitted an insurance claim which she hopes will cover the cost of her car - £4,499.

Frightening Moment Lumber Truck Loses Load, Sending Material Smashing Into Car
The frightening moment a load of lumber flew off a truck driving on an overpass and slammed into a car below was caught on a dashcam in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, December 3.No one was injured in the incident, according to local reports.Derek Gooderham owns the dashcam that captured the dramatic moment the building materials flew down a hill and collided with a car on Interstate 83, sweeping it off the road.Gooderham told Storyful he was disoriented by the event as it happened, saying the boards looked like trees to him at first. “But after seeing it all unfold, it was an avalanche of 2x4s and 2x12s covering the highway,” he said.According to local news outlet WGAL, the road was briefly closed as crews worked for about four hours to clear debris.“I hate saying things like this, but that was probably the scariest thing that I have seen so far in my life,” Gooderham told WGAL. “I hope there’s nothing that tops that. It was pretty scary.” Credit: Derek Gooderham via Storyful
