These dramatic pictures show a car wedged into the front of a terraced house after a suspected drink driver lost control of it on a bend and crashed through the front door.

The horrifying images show the estate car with its bonnet hanging off parked in the landing of the £262,000 three-bedroom-home.

Emergency services rushed to the scene in Saffron Walden, Essex after reports of an incident at around 9.20pm (28/5).

They found the front wall of the house was knocked out leaving a hole in the house where fire crews had to temporarily rebuild the wall to make it is safe.

Specialist cutting equipment including rams and small tools were used to rescue one casualty and make the scene safe for us to work.

A 71-year-old man from Saffron Walden has been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and ABH.

She added: “I live opposite. I heard all the commotion and there were fire engines and police and everything. I heard all the noise.

“I did have a lot of fire engines here because they had to do a lot of construction.

“They had to rebuild it all up because being such a old cottage, to make sure it is safe in there. The firemen had to make it safe.

“As far as I know they said there were two people in the car.

“I can’t understand how the car could come round the corner and manage to go into the house.

“You’re not supposed to go fast. It is a very narrow road. It went round the bend and into the house.”

Saffron Walden Fire Station shared these pictures at around one o’clock this morning writing: “Both crews tonight called to a car crashed into a house.

“Specialist cutting equipment including rams and small tools were used to rescue one casualty and make the scene safe for us to work.
