Witnesses said there were ‘at least 30’ emergency services on the scene in the aftermath of the horrific crash.   

A major incident has been declared at Lister Hospital in Stevenage.

The collision took place near a Wickes DIY store on the A602 in Stevenage on Thursday evening. 

A crowd of people was gathered on either side of a road watching vehicles come past. 

One vehicle turned out from a side road, just seconds before the second, blue car came hurtling along at huge speed. 

It clipped the slower vehicle, sending them both into pedestrians before the video cuts out. 

A helicopter is reported to have arrived at the scene as casualties are taken to hospital. 

The car meet was described on Facebook as an ‘extra special meet’ to raise money for families affected by stillbirth and miscarriage.
