Car Crash in Birmingham: Miracle No One Killed

0:00On March 13, a dramatic car crash unfolded on a quiet residential street in Spark Hill Birmingham when a Mercedes slammed it to two parked cars and a front wall. It happened around 4.20 pm on Sunday March 8, right at the junction of Beach Road and Wilton Road. A pedestrian took a hit but only suffered minor injuries while a mother and young child nearby dashed out of harm's way. CCTV footage caught the whole thing, showing the out of control vehicle speeding through narrow lanes packed with families outdoors. Before the smash, the car's occupants had assaulted two men in the area. After the impact, they bolted from the scene, leaving chaos behind, including a fallen lamppost. Locals rushed out after hearing the loud bang, stunned that no one was seriously hurt or killed. One neighborhood called it a miracle on these tight streets where kids play and drivers often speed recklessly. On-line, viewers of the shared video expressed shock over the pedestrian getting flung and the drivers fleeing without checking on him.

Firefighters arrived shortly after to secure the wrecked vehicles and left the scene safe by 5.35 pm. Paramedics were needed since injuries stayed minor. Thankfully everyone involved walked away relatively unscathed, but authorities urged anyone with info to come forward to help wrap this up quickly.
