Car smashes into home - while doing a U-turn
This shocking footage shows the moment when a car smashed into a family home while attempting to ‘perform a U-turn’ on their driveway. The CCTV video shows the grey Audi A3 vehicle heading along the quiet road before making a sharp turn towards the front of the white property But the hatchback then suddenly accelerates forward in the direction of the house - before crashing into the side of it. And sadly, the building was left with 'significant structural damage' after the impact caused the outer wall to ‘partially collapse’. The shocking incident unfolded on a residential street in Blackburn, Lancs., at around 6.30pm on Friday (Oct 4).

Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Its Own Nürburgring Record
Mercedes-AMG One Breaks Its Own Nürburgring Record. The Mercedes-AMG One has become the first road-legal production car to complete the the famed Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit in under 6:30 minutes. The Mercedes-AMG One, a Formula 1-inspired street-legal vehicle, broke its own record, completing the 20.8-kilometre track in just 6:29.090 minutes, shaving over six seconds off its previous record, set two years ago in 2022. The AMG One's driver, Maro Engel, who also set the previous record, attributed much of the improvement to ideal track conditions. The weather was a far cry from the damp and less-than-perfect conditions of the 2022 run, allowing Engel to make the most of the hypercar's capabilities. The AMG One's impressive performance is powered by a 1.6-litre V6 engine derived from Formula 1 technology, paired with four electric motors, producing over 1,000 horsepower in total. With a top speed of 352 km/h, this hybrid hypercar is designed to break records. Not only has it dominated the Nürburgring, but it also holds records at Hockenheimring, Red Bull Ring, and Monza.
