But as the lorry’s crane lifts the pile into the air, it becomes caught in a tree and causes the vehicles to fall over onto its side.

The crane also knocked down part of a garden fence.

Police confirmed the Honda Jazz car, which was parked, was empty at the time and no injuries were reported.

Road closures were in place while the vehicles were recovered.
