Police in Canada have shared aerial footage showing devastation in Ontario after a vehicle struck a house, hit a gas line and sparked an explosion.

City officials said one home was destroyed and six others were damaged.

One member of the public and several first responders were injured in the incident in Old East Village, London, police said.

Residents of around 100 homes were evacuated and the area was cordoned off for an investigation.
