He said: ‘It was complete mayhem.

‘Three cars were damaged.

‘The Skoda Octavia was quite bad as it was on its roof.

‘The Volkswagen was all bashed up and there was another car with its roof scraped where the crane went over it.’

He added: ‘The crane picked up one car.

‘The crane went through the window and dragged it over the top of the other car.’

The firm said it is carrying out its own investigation.
