Residents on the street said that the explosion left their homes shaking and set off a number of house alarms. 

A paramedic who lives on the street tweeted: 'Woken up to a car exploding outside my house, thankfully no one hurt (no one wants to be helped by a #Paramedic in his PJs anyway) very fast response from @SYFR and @syptweet - thank you!

'Unsure if deliberate yet but if it is - very uncool, lots of scared children!'

South Yorkshire Police has been contacted for a response.Â
