This is the moment a driver doing 'doughnuts' lost control and crashed into vehicles at a car meet.  

Milosz Sobiechowski was attempting to perform the stunt in his red BMW when he smashed into two parked cars in Swindon, Wiltshire.

His vehicle was later found to have undergone modifications rendering the vehicle unfit for the road.

A clip of the incident shows a crowd watching Sobiechowski's car doing circles along with another yellow BMW before he clips another stationary vehicle.

One person suffered minor injuries as a result of the crash in the evening of September 30, 2023.

Police were alerted to the crash at Hawksworth Industrial Estate at around 10.55pm.

Sobiechowski was sentenced to dangerous driving at Swindon Crown Court on October 18.

He was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work, as well as being handed a year-long driving ban and a fine of £114.

Roads policing officer PC Beales of Wiltshire Police said: 'Sobiechowski's actions were incredibly dangerous and it is fortunate that there were no serious injuries.

'It is incidents like these that led us to set up Operation Staysail, the Force response to car meets, around two years ago, as they endanger the public and can cause a significant amount of disruption to local residents.

'On this occasion, Sobiechowski put a number of people in danger and he has now been disqualified from driving.

'As we have said previously, we recognise that genuine car enthusiasts meet lawfully and do so in a manner that doesn't cause distress to local residents.

'We will continue to target those who break the law, however, and ensure they are robustly dealt with and put before the courts.'
