Moment £110k Audi R8 smashes into family car with kids inside

A child has been treated for injuries after a sports car crashed into the back of an estate car, throwing it into the air.

CCTV of the incident shows a black car parked on the side of Thornton Road in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

A yellow sports car, believed to be an Audi R8 model, comes hurtling into shot and collides with the back of the stationary vehicle.

The back two tyres of the black car fly into the air, and the yellow car spins into a U-turn before coming to a stop on the other side of the road.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service said there were three children at the scene of the crash, which happened on New Year's Eve.

A spokesperson said: "We were called at 15.33 on 31 December 2017 to reports of a three-vehicle road traffic collision on Thornton Road, Bradford."

She continued: "We sent a rapid response vehicle and an ambulance. Three children were checked over on scene.

"One child needed hospital treatment and was transported to Bradford Royal Infirmary."
