Two people were killed when a stolen car crashed into eight parked cars and caught fire in Greater Manchester.
Police said they had been in pursuit for a short time but stressed it was not being followed when it crashed on Leigh Road, Boothstown, Salford.
The Audi had been stolen in a raid on a property on Boscombe Gardens, Farnworth, on Thursday evening.
It is thought the two people killed were in the Audi which burst into flames on impact.
Five cars caught fire while five nearby houses also suffered heat damage with cracked windows.
Resident Joe Horne said: "We heard a screech and it wasn't so much a boom as a thud."
Another resident Michael Lever added: "I looked up and saw smoke and fire above the houses a street away.
"I got round the corner and saw two cars which looked like they had collided and fire and smoke everywhere."
Police pursuitFour fire engines with 25 firefighters tackled the burning cars.
Police were called to reports of a burglary at 20:30 GMT
The Audi was spotted on the East Lancashire Road by a passing police car.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said "a short pursuit followed" but the officer lost sight of the car.
Police then received reports the Audi had hit a number of parked cars on Leigh Road.
"Officers attended along with firefighters from the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and two people were pronounced dead at the scene," the spokesman said in a statement.
The force has referred the incident to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
