Shocking moment Jaguar driver accelerated into house before fleeing the scene

This is the horrifying moment a Jaguar driver fled the scene after crashing into a house in Swansea and leaving it significantly damaged. The motorist smashed their vehicle through a garden fence and into a woman's home just after 8pm on Thursday, March 2, leaving a huge chunk missing.

The dangerous driver also knocked the resident's car through a dividing wall and into her next door neighbour's garden, Wales Online reports. Shocking video footage has now emerged of the driver taking off from Brynteg Road in Goresinon after they reversed out of the damage and sped away from the chaos.

The clip captures the sounds of the wheels of the luxurious car screeching and crunching over rubble and other debris in the driveway as those living nearby are heard yelling at the driver. Neighbours who witnessed the incident were left gobsmacked as the car disappeared.

The resident living at the home that received the most damage declined to comment but her next door neighbour, Sam Jenkins explained how he heard a noise outside and ran out to see what it was. He recalled: "At 8pm there was a loud bang, I went outside and as I got out the door I could already see the bright lights and hear revving.

"The adjoining wall was up at this point but you could see something going on behind it. As I got up I started shouting: 'What are you doing?'

"The driver has then taken the wall out, sped up around a pillar and sped away up Brynteg Road. From there, I called the police.

"The neighbours were out on the street. We found a broken number plate that had been left behind, and police pieced it together and then went.

"My initial reaction was just shock. All the street were out helping our neighbour."
