Audi sportscar ploughed into back of family estate yesterday afternoon Three children were in the car which was hit but survived without serious injury


 Pictures from the scene in Bradford show the damage to the £100,000. Its driver is understood to have been uninjured. A child from the family car needed to be taken to hospital
Three children had a miraculous escape when a £100,000 Audi R8 ploughed into the back of their family's car.

The trio of youngsters were in a black estate car, believed to be a Nissan, which was hit by the Audi sportscar in Bradford yesterday.

Terrifying footage shows the family estate being thrown up into the air as the high performance vehicle slams into the back of it.

Two of the children were checked by paramedics at the scene and given the all-clear. Another was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The footage shows a passenger getting into the stationary estate car as it waits on a double yellow line.

An Audi R8 then comes from behind the car and slams into the back of it, forcing the car up into the air.

The yellow Audi then swerves into the street with damage to its bonnet, front bumper and wheels.

It is understood the driver of the Audi, which locals claimed was a hire car, was not injured in the crash.

West Yorkshire Police have yet to confirm whether any action was taken against either driver.

A worker in a nearby shop told MailOnline: 'We heard a big crash and looked out to see what had happened but everyone seemed alright. It was a busy day on New Year's Eve so we didn't have time to speak to anyone to find out what had happened.'

A spokesman for Yorkshire Ambulance Service said: 'We got a call at 15.33 yesterday to a three-car road traffic collision.

'We sent a rapid response vehicle and an ambulance to the scene, Thornton Road in Bradford.

'Three children needed to be checked over at the scene. One child needed hospital treatment and was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary.'

An Audi R8 costs around £110,000, goes from 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds. It has a top speed of 200mph.
