A car crashed into a York bungalow today, all but destroying it.
The collision happened on Sowerby Road in Holgate, close to its junction with Lindsay Avenue, at 11.11am.
A white Jaguar iPace has hit the front of the building.
Police, fire and ambulance crews have been at the scene.
Gas engineers were also at the house to make it safe. Part of the front wall is now rubble, exposing the kitchen behind.
The front of the car was badly damage and the front tyres deflated.
Amazingly, no one has been seriously hurt. Paramedics have been treating both the car driver and the occupant of the house at the scene.
The driver appears to have lost control while attempting to park on the street.
Crash location
Station manager Chris Johnstone, of North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service, told YorkMix: “We’ve responded with crews from York and Acomb and we’ve assisted other agencies to ensure the welfare of the individual that lives there, and also the driver as well.
“We’re just working to make the building as safe as we can do to leave scene.
“There’s no major injuries. But ambulance are working with the two people involved, the person from the house and the person from the vehicle to give them the care needs that they need – but no serious injuries.”
A nearby resident told us: “I saw the fire engines, then I saw the car that had gone inside somebody’s house.
“They have crashed into it head on, it looks horrific.”
The damaged car has now been loaded onto a recovery truck and taken away from the scene.
A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Crews from Acomb and York along with an officer attended a single vehicle road traffic collision where a car had struck a property causing structural damage.
“The driver of the vehicle was out on arrival with no injuries. The incident was left with the police and a structural engineer.”
A Yorkshire Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We received an emergency call at 11.12 this morning to a report of a car in collision with a house on Sowerby Road, York.
“A number of our resources were dispatched to the scene, but no patients were conveyed to hospital.”
