A BMW driver smashed into a Mercedes in a Colorado parking lot demolishing part of an apartment complex.
The chaos erupted on December 21 at around 4.30pm at Cherry Creek Apartments in Denver.
Deputies from the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office were called to reports of an altercation between several men in the parking lot.
The fight escalated from a physical brawl to a full-blown car battle after the men climbed into their respective luxury vehicles.
Video taken by a terrified neighbor showed the BMW slamming into a Mercedes after two men involved in the fight got inside the vehicle.
The BMW rammed the Mercedes into a carport, which collapsed instantly.
A Mercedes passenger then jumped out and began hitting the BMW with an unknown object, identified by a neighbor as possibly a piece of the fence.
The BMW driver then reversed, smashing into a red truck, as the Mercedes driver tried to flee.

Moments later, the BMW accelerated again, attempting to sideswipe the Mercedes before crashing head-on into a dumpster.
The bystander who filmed the fight said she heard the argument from inside her apartment, prompting her to grab her phone to record and call police. She asked to remain nameless out of fear for her safety.
She said her biggest concern about the brawl was how close the confrontation came to potentially damaging or destroying other apartments.
'Like if the guy that was in the BMW, he wouldn't have been paying attention, he could easily put it in reverse and drove into the building,' she said.
The woman said she called 911 during the incident.
'I was the first one who called the police after recording the whole video,' she said.
According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, investigators have confirmed the incident was not road rage or street racing.
