Moment BMW driver ploughs into crowd of petrolheads after losing control while trying to drift car

This is the shocking moment a driver lost control of his BMW and ploughed into a crowd of people outside the British Motor Museum.

Motor enthusiasts were gathered to watch an event outside the Warwickshire museum on Sunday but it all went wrong when a driver tried to drift his vehicle, according to reports.

Dramatic footage shows the moment the driver appeared to lose control of his silver car, smashed into a traffic light and appeared to knock a number of pedestrians to the ground.

Screams could be heard as the crash happened, with people seen trying to back away from the car. 

The video was posted on TikTok with the caption ‘idiot can’t control his car and ruined the mood at tucked’. 

Nobody was believed to have been seriously injured in the incident, according to The Sun. 

One who watched the viral video commented: ‘That’s now another good show ruined.’

The British Motor Museum tweeted: ‘We are aware of an incident that took place on the B4100 today. 

‘We take issues of road safety very seriously and whilst we won’t be commenting further at this time, we will investigate and act accordingly.’

A spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘We are aware of a traffic incident that occurred on the public highway outside the Museum yesterday and our onsite paramedic attended the scene. 

‘As a responsible venue, we continue to review and assess health and safety measures for all events that we host, and we are working with our show partners and the local authorities to identify any actions required following this incident.’

MailOnline has also contacted Warwickshire Police, who say they are aware of the incident, for comment.
