Emergency services descended on Darlaston Road, Pleck, on Saturday evening to deal with the collision which happened just after 4pm.

Residents described the impact of the car crashing and fearing the worst after seeing the wreckage of the vehicle.

One Walsall resident said: "I heard a big crash, it was so loud, then I looked outside and it was like this."

Another resident said: "It was bad, I didn't see what the car hit, but it's totalled it. I don't know if the driver is okay."

A spokesperson for West Midlands Fire Service said crews were called at 4.34pm.

"One car crashed into a parked car and ended up on its roof," they said.

Emergency services workers on the scene

Nobody was reported trapped in the wreckage with the driver extricating themselves before the eight firefighters - from Walsall and Wednesbury - arrived at the scene.

The spokesperson added that one woman was given a precautionary check by West Midlands Ambulance Service with fire crews leaving the scene at 5.50pm.

Buses were diverted due to the road being closed.

The crash scene had been tidied and road reopened by 7.15pm.
