West Midlands Police have launched the investigation after the incident on Thursday afternoon on Primrose Lane in the Scotlands Estate of Wolverhampton, which saw a blue Audi collide with a taxi and then hit a wall outside a house.

The incident happened about 3pm and saw police and fire called to the scene, with the car found with no driver or passenger, both of whom are believed to have abandoned the car.
