“Two people in the Megane were taken to HRI with minor injuries. There were no injuries as a result of the gunshots.”

The Crosland Moor area has been hit by a series of shootings in recent months.

Sunday’s incident on Walpole Road came less than three months after a window was smashed when shots were fired at a house on nearby Cromarty Avenue in the early hours of December 29.

That night the window of a property on Stuart Place in Bradley was also damaged.

A month earlier, on November 25, a masked man had fired shots at a 22-year-old man as he smoked a cigarette on Moorside Avenue.

Police are not linking Sunday’s shooting to the earlier incidents.

They are appealing for witnesses to the shooting or the collision. Anyone with information should call Huddersfield CID via 0845 6060606 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
