The unnamed driver did not suffer any injuries.

A third joked: “I take it due to the fact the car facing the wrong way. He's given it a bit too much gas?”

Others were equally stunned at how the driver damaged his expensive car in such a short period of time.

One wrote: “What on earth was he doing? Is he even licensed to drive?”

A second added: “How mortified would you be? That is going to take some fixing.”

While a third wrote: “Good to hear no injuries but maybe too much power for this driver and it looks like he's the April Fool for crashing.”

A Derbyshire Police spokesman said: “East Midlands Ambulance service alerted us to reports of a collision on St Alkmund's Way in Derby just before 11am today.

“The car was moved off the road and the driver arranged for their own recovery.

“The driver was not arrested or charged with any offence.”
