Chocolate box cottage on verge of collapse after car crashes through living room One neighbour in the picturesque village of Welford-on-Avon, Warwickshire, said she heard the crash late at night. The woman, who did not want to be named, said: "I heard a terrible screeching of tyres and brakes and then really loud bang. We rushed outside to see what had happened and there was this car jutting out of my next door neighbour's house. I was amazed to see the people in the car stagger away from it as the car has really hit the house hard to dig in so deep. Now the police tell us they cannot remove the car because it is holding up that corner of the house. If they take it away then I imagine about a quarter of the house will collapse. This area is notorious for this kind of thing. It is a long straight road so people like to see how fast they can go. Last time something happened they went straight into the shop across the road and the time before into a field but this time they have ploughted straight into the house. I think the occupants are on holiday at the moment, I don't know much about them but do know he is severely disabled. I dread to think how they will feel when they see the damage that has been done to their home. No one from Warwickshire police was available to comment on the incident.
