A man who saw the group commented on a car website: "I was down the pub having a quiet drink with a few friends when three Lamborghinis and a Bentley raced up the quiet country lane and onto the car park." The driver of the white Lamborghini sat in the car park "for a while, just revving it until it was hitting the limiter", he said.

A spokeswoman for West Mercia Police said: "The driver was seemingly not seriously injured as he was picked up by another vehicle and his car was abandoned. "Inquiries are under way to identify the driver and we are appealing for any information which might assist." She could not comment on whether the crashed car was rented or not. Brian Jarvis, the licensee of The Cider House, said that the pub was co-operating fully with the police and had made their CCTV available to officers. He said he could not confirm whether the group had visited the pub on Sunday as it had been "packed".
