The kids play area is on the Larches side of the park, meaning the car continued across the width of the park.

Footage shows a driver slowing as they approach Egerton Road in Ashton-on-Ribble.

A black car comes flying out of the turn across Pedders Lane and goes straight onto the grass into Ashton Park.

You can see the car take off as it mounts a hillock on the edge of the park.

Moments later a police car arrives and begins to stop traffic in the road.
