The £500,000 Ferrari SF90 crashed head-on into a white car, with the force of the impact sending the white car into three other vehicles parked behind it.

The supercar, which has now been seized, hit a number of vehicles on Hagley Road, Halesowen, at around 7.40pm on Wednesday.

Police and fire crews from Haden Cross and Billesley Stations also attended and made the scene of the crash, near the Rose and Crown pub, safe.

A spokesman for West Midlands Fire Service said: "We were called by the police to reports of an RTC. One car ended up in collision with a number of parked vehicles.
