CITIZEN reader Rebecca van der Putt snapped this picture after a van careered off the road and smashed into five cars on a busy car park.

The incident happened on Tuesday afternoon this week in Sumner Street, Leyland.

Inspector Graham Harrison of Leyland police said: "A vehicle examiner is inspecting the articulated truck to see if there was a mechanical fault."

Despite the obvious damage to the cars, No-one was injured.
