A £143,000 supercar was reduced to a charred wreck over the weekend when it crashed into a house on a Wiltshire country road.

The driver and a passenger sustained only minor injuries, but photos released by Dorset and Wiltshire fire and rescue show the McLaren vehicle was destroyed.

Firefighters were called to the scene on Yarnbrook Road in Heywood, near Trowbridge, at 6.24am on Sunday, where they discovered the supercar on fire and buried beneath the rubble of what appeared to be a collapsed porch.

Only small patches of the car’s orange paintwork were visible in the blackened, twisted wreckage. The house had to be shored up.

Trowbridge fire service identified the car as a McLaren 570S, which is considered the manufacturer’s more affordable, entry-level model.
