One of the cars almost ended up Holly Johnson's front room, after the crash triggered a series of collisions

The incident occured when a white Audi crashed into a stationary car triggering a domino effect, and leading to six stationary cars on the residential street being damaged by the impact.

Four of them are believed to have been written-off.

Resident Holly Johnson told the BBC: "We woke to the sound of crashing, and car alarms going off.

"It was like a nightmare.

"The Audi zoomed straight into a Citroen - then six cars in total were involved.

"Someone from the Audi was injured - I could hear a lad screaming."

It is understood the man's injuries are not serious.

Ms Johnson, 24, said: "The cars all bounced along the road and one nearly came straight into my front room,

"A gas pipe was also damaged - that could have led to a major gas leak and the house could have gone up in flames."

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson confirmed officers on patrol came across a multi-vehicle collision on Ford Hill.

Ms Johnson, a teaching assistant, added: "We're all so shaken up.

"You just want to feel safe in your own house."
