The front end of a car was left mangled and one of its wheels flew off after it crashed into a lorry.
Emergency services were called to Manchester Road outside Oakhill Park in Accrington just after 12pm on Tuesday, following numerous calls that a car had been involved in a serious crash.
On arrival, police officers found the vehicle, a Peugeot, in the middle of the road, blocking the traffic.
It was missing a front wheel and also missing its front end.
The driver of the vehicle, a man, suffered only minor injuries and was checked over at the scene by paramedics.
A spokesperson for the police said: "We were called to an incident outside Oakhill Park at around 12.10pm on Tuesday.
"A Peugeot had crashed into a lorry which has caused the damage to the front end and the front wheel.
"There was a lot of debris on the road and traffic management was put in place while the incident was dealt with and the road cleared."
