This was the scene after a McLaren supercar was left in a crumpled heap of wreckage in a crash on a country road.

The high value car burst into flames after smashing into a building near Trowbridge in Wiltshire.

Emergency services said the driver and passenger walked away with only minor injuries from the crash early on Sunday morning.

The model of the McLaren is not known, nor is the speed at which it had been travelling before the collision.

Images from the fire service show the blackened remains of the sports car buried beneath a collapsed brick wall.

The car's original orange paintwork can still be seen on fragments of the wreckage.

"Crews found the occupants had been released prior to their arrival and the vehicle was alight. Fire was extinguished and made safe."
