Incredible images show car suspended in air after Vauxhall Corsa crashes into front of home
A car[1] has been pictured hanging out of a house after the driver appears to have driven through a window. Incredible images show the Vauxhall[2] Corsa lodged in the brickwork of the house after the driver had crashed[3] and needed to be cut free by firefighters. It appears as though the car had launched off the driveway and into the home on Shelley Drive in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
Fire[4] crews had to use hydraulic cutting equipment to get the driver out of the vehicle on Wednesday morning. Debbie Mallet, who lives nearby, said that the car had caused a lot of damage to the house. “I didn’t see it crashing into the bungalow but I saw it afterwards,” she said. “It’s still there, I doubt that they can move it without some structural work.
It’s gone through the front window but it’s also taken out quite a bit of brickwork.” And neighbour Jeremy Tooze believes a visitor to the property had missed the brake pedal and hit the throttle while parking. A spokesperson from Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “We received a call at 10.39am from our Police colleagues about a road traffic collision on Shelley Drive, Salisbury. Crews from Salisbury and Ludgershall attended along with a crew from Fordingbridge and technical rescue team from Redbridge (H&IOW FRS).
“The incident involved a single vehicle and building – firefighters used hydraulic cutting equipment to release the driver who was then left in the care of our ambulance colleagues. Our stop was in at 11.20am.” A spokesperson for the South Western Ambulance Service NHS[5] Foundation Trust confirmed nobody was sent to hospital following the crash.

Meanwhile, a driver “flew” with his car into the second floor of a home after driving at speed in Pennsylvania, in the United States. Surreal pictures of the incident show a house in Decatur Township, struck by the vehicle[7] with the construction materials smashed and exposed and the back half of the car hanging from the walls. And 20-year-old Evan Miller has been charged after the incident last August as police determined that he crashed into the home intentionally, according to a police report.
The crash occurred when Miller, driving at high speed, veered off the road, became airborne due to a change in elevation, and hit the house.
