An Audi driver smashed the car into a traffic light barrier outside the Etihad stadium in Manchester on Monday afternoon (January 23).
Police blocked off the scene after the crash, on Alan Turing Way (A6010), near to the stadium, at the junction with Gibbon Street and the McDonald's.
Pictures and video footage from the scene show the silver Audi badly damaged at the front, having appeared to have mounted the kerb and crashed into the metal barrier at the crossing in the centre of the typically busy main road.
