It caused significant damage to the property, which sits at the bottom of a bank off Church Road. There is a large hole in the house, with broken roof tiles and guttering clearly visible and a window hanging off.

Police said a 39-year-old woman, who remains in hospital in a stable condition, had been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.

A force spokesman said: ‘Officers attended and two people who were inside the vehicle were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries.

‘A third person who was inside the vehicle did not require hospital treatment.’

People living nearby said the family living there were not in at the time.

One mum, who did not want to be named, says she was ‘dozing off’ when she heard ‘two booms’.

‘I looked out my window and saw the Audi on the floor,’ she said. ‘I called the police and they came pretty quickly. Luckily, there was no one in the house when it happened.

‘There were three people in the car and they were taken to the hospital in an ambulance. I really feel for the family. We always say “hi” and “bye” when we see them around.’

Another neighbor, who also did not want to be named, said: ‘I heard a large bang and at first thought it was someone crashing into the bollards. But then I heard another one so looked out my window and just saw lots of dust. All I know is that a car crashed into the house, then the police turned up.’

Another homeowner said: ‘I slept through it but heard about it the next day. God knows how fast the driver must have been going to come off the road like that.’

The accident happened near notorious width-restricting bollards, designed to prevent access for larger vehicles such as HGVs.
