‘I ran outside and saw a crowd of people staring at the house.

‘I turned round and a red sports car had ploughed into it.

‘The car had come off, come through our front garden and gone through the wall and the window.

‘It completely wiped out a whole corner of the front bedroom.

‘It’s a room that’s in use every day, we’re always in and out of there.

‘If I’d been in his room I wouldn’t have survived.’

West Mercia Police said the driver of the car, a man in his twenties, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital along with a female passenger, also in her twenties.
