BMW gets wedged into wall recreating famous King’s Cross luggage trolley in Harry Potter Hogwarts Express scene

Three fire crews from Banbury, Deddington, and Oxford also attended the incident on Monday

This unfortunate BMW driver could do with a magic wand to mend his battered motor - as a bizarre picture captures the moment they recreated the famous Platform 9 3/4 out of Harry Potter.

Firefighters were called to a factory in Banbury, Oxfordshire, after the car ploughed straight through the side of the building - leaving the vehicle wedged perfectly in the brickwork as if half of it had disappeared.

The collision left half the vehicle poking into the factory and half sticking out on to the pavement - just like the luggage trolley embedded in the wall at King’s Cross station where Potter fans pay homage to the Hogwarts Express.

The driver was treated at the scene, opposite the entrance to the town’s Morrison’s supermarket, by South Central Ambulance Service.

Three fire crews from Banbury, Deddington, and Oxford also attended the incident in Swan Close Road, just before midday on Monday.

Mark Ames, station manager at Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “When we arrived the powerful BMW was embedded in the wall of the factory, and our immediate concerns were for the driver of the car and the workers inside of the factory."

“Once we were assured that everyone was in safe hands we focused on the stability of the building structure.

“Our colleagues in the district council have specially-trained building surveyors that can give advice on the safety of the building.”
