The dramatic accident was captured on CCTV

Amazing CCTV footage shows the car spinning around and the moment of impact.

The 71-year-old said: "You hear how people feel vibrations, but there was none of that, it was just an almighty bang and then it was over.

"I said: 'What was that?' and the wife said: 'I think something must have hit the side of the house'."

Retired engineer Richard quickly got some clothes on and got a torch to go out of the house to see a car had hit the gable end of his 45ft four bed bungalow. Luckily it hadn't hit the room he and Judith, a 66-year-old retired receptionist, were sleeping in, but the room next to it.
