Horrifying footage has emerged showing the aftermath of a serious car crash involving Gillingham players on a scenic suburban road.
A luxury BMW sports saloon was found to be badly damaged when it landed on the tarmac in front of a driveway with debris covering the road.
It appears that the car was involved in a severe collision with a wall that took the brunt of stress, dislodging huge chunks of brick and stone.
Another car, a black Lexus SUV parked in the driveway, can be seen with pieces of the wall over the roof as the BMW is parked in front.
The airbags of the German sedan were deployed during the accident, while police were also present at the scene of the accident, which is said to be on a street with a school.
