Carnage after car flips into house before ending up in front garden...amazingly nobody was seriously hurt

This is the aftermath of a crash which saw a car somersault into a house before landing in a front garden in Salford .

Footage shows scenes of carnage as one car ended up on its roof, with another reportedly ploughing into a lamppost.

Emergency services were called to Littleton Road in Broughton shortly after 1pm on Saturday afternoon to reports of a crash between two cars.

Only one person is believed to have suffered minor cuts following the crash.

Nobody was taken to hospital.

Shocking pictures show a Vauxhall Zafira on its side and a Mercedes, which has been completely written-off.

One eyewitness told the Manchester Evening News they had been coming back from the shop when they heard a noise which resembled a 'bomb going off.'

"The two cars have come round the corner and the first car has hit a parked car, then the one behind hit the other and it went in the air and on the patio roof of the house," they said.

"Then it dropped into the garden."

"I think there were three lads inside one of the cars, and two in the other," the witness added.

The homeowner, whose house was damaged in the crash said: "I was sat inside just watching TV and I heard the most horrendous bang.

"Everyone on the street was out.

"Everyone in the house was fine."

"One car was on its roof and the other crashed into a pole.

"Nobody was trapped and it was just the driver who had minor cuts but didn't want any medical treatment.

"We left the scene at 1.45pm."
