THIS is the moment a car spins out of control and smashes into a house – before the driver blames an imaginary “buddy” who “ran off”.
The black car can be seen swerving across the empty road before bouncing off a house.
It then skids to a stop with smoke pouring from the vehicle in Cwmfelinfach, south-east Wales, at 10pm on April 1.
The driver gets out as a woman comes out of the house and asks: “Do you need an ambulance? Are you alright?”
He replies: “My buddy, he’s run off. When I find him, I’m going to smash his head in.”
The man then paces around as a passerby appears to pick up a piece of the car’s bonnet from the road.
Footage shows him being driven off in a different car.
Homeowner Sion Hughes wasn’t in the house at the time, but captured the crash on his CCTV.
The 35-year-old’s girlfriend Becky asked the driver if he needed help.
Sion told WalesOnline: “The driver came over the brow of the hill, and from the sound of things attempted to start a deliberate wheelspin and lost control and hit my house.
“He got out and tried to make out to witnesses he wasn’t driving. He said something about his ‘buddy’, he couldn’t believe his ‘buddy’ ran off.
“He was trying to make out that he wasn’t the one driving – then he left the scene in another car before the police arrived.”
Sion said the front of his house will have to be rebuilt after the crash.
Cops are trying to track down the driver and urged anyone with information to come forward.
A spokesperson for Gwent Police said: “We received a report of a road traffic collision in Maindee Road, Cwmfelinfach at around 10.10pm on Wednesday, April 1.
“The collision involved one car which collided with a house. The driver of the car had left the scene prior to police attendance.
“Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact us on 101, by direct message on social media or online, quoting log reference 2600100518.”
