A resident woke up to find another car partly on top of his after a crash this morning.

Bhupendra Patel said that a boy from his neighbourhood had knocked on the door to tell him there had been a car crash and his Mercedes C200 was badly damaged.

Bhupendra, 62, left his terraced home in Lyme Road in Evington, Leicester, and walked round the corner to Devana Road where he saw that his car, as well as two others, had been hit by a car.

He said: “There was a knock at the door and the boy said my car was damaged in the accident."

“The car had damaged three parked vehicles – it hit one car, then crashed into ours, knocking it into the car in front and coming to rest on top of it. I couldn’t believe it."

The grey Honda Civic in front of Bhupendra's was also badly damaged

The accident was reported at 8.52am this morning. The police arrived later and a male was breathalysed and arrested.

The Leicestershire Police road policing unit later tweeted photographs from the scene, showing the Mercedes C1 up on two wheels and partially on top of the other Mercedes.

The red Ford Focus was the first to be hit by the car

A police spokeswoman confirmed to LeicestershireLive that there was only one person in the Mercedes at the time of the crash and that there were no significant injuries.

The other cars damaged were a red Ford Focus and a grey Honda Civic, which were parked either side of Bhupendra’s Mercedes in Devana Road.
