As the Mercedes smashes into the pump it sends advertising boards flying across the forecourt.

The vehicle also crashes at speed into a blue car, which is parked next to the petrol station, before coming to a halt at an angle.

Other cars, which were following the Mercedes on the road, are seen turning into the station after the crash.

The video was posted on Facebook by Nick Medhurst, where it was then shared by shocked viewers more than 2,000 times. 

It is not known what caused the incident, but one social media commented that it looked like the car ‘aquaplaned’, where layer of water builds up between a vehicle’s tyres and the surface of the road beneath causing a lack of traction.
