A shop has been demolished after a police car crashed into a building.

Two marked police vehicles have been recovered from the scene of the crash, which has left residents perplexed as to how it happened.

Ideal Bathrooms & Tiles, a father-and-son-owned business, in Frizinghall, Bradford, West Yorks appears to have sustained the most damage from the collision, which happened at around 3am on Monday.

"It is just a shock for me and my dad," said Abdul Riaz, the shop's owner.

"We don't know how to react, especially because it was in the early hours of the morning. We were woken up by this unexpected news."

He added: "We had items on display and the material is fairly expensive. It could cost us up to £1,000, I doubt it would be more than that.”

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said the incident involved two police vehicles and was being treated "as a damage-only collision”.
