Two people have been left seriously injured after a vehicle ploughed into a crowd during a car meet in a Morrisons car park.
Police raced to the scenes of carnage in Portsmouth late on Saturday night after a Mazda MX5 veered off the road, and were stunned to find 40 to 50 cars present.
A teenage girl and woman, aged in her 20s, were seriously hurt and two other people suffered minor injuries as the vehicle hurtled into the crowd, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said.
A 17-year-old boy has now been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving after a vehicle hit a group of spectators.
"We have already received a number of submissions from people, and all available footage will assist with our inquiries, whether this is dashcam footage, mobile phone video or anything else," it said in a statement.

Police were called to a Morrisons car park at around 8.40pm on January 20.
The force had a second call just before 9.20pm reporting that a cream Fiat 500 had hit pedestrians.
