Shocking footage shows the moment a car careers into the rear of another vehicle and overturns on an Ellon street.
In the video, a cream Mini ploughs into the back of a black Vauxhall SUV which was parked on Snipe Street at around 4.30pm on Saturday, February 8.
The car strikes the corner wall of a house which causes it to flip over, with the two vehicles soon surrounded in white smoke.
The footage then appears to show at least one of the occupants struggling out from the badly damaged Mini and running from the scene.
Officers have now revealed the occupants ran off before they attended. Inquiries are ongoing to locate those involved.
Collision shunted car three homes down the street
Residents soon rushed out of their homes to see what the commotion was and to help anyone involved.
Simon Berryman, a resident, said the car had been noticed parked on their street all day, without number plates.
He said: “They hit the Vauxhall you can see and shunted it three houses up the street.
“That flipped the car and then they hit the white wall.”
No serious injuries were sustained as a result of the crash, however, the black Vauxhall car remains on the street as of Monday.
There is severe damage to the back of the vehicle where the Mini Cooper struck.
