Three injured after car crashes into Killamarsh bungalow
Police are investigating what happened.
Three people have been injured after a car crashed into a bungalow in a Derbyshire village.
Emergency services were called to a cul-de-sac just off Sheffield Road in Killamarsh, at 10.55am on Monday, where a Mercedes was found to have smashed into the property, causing extensive damage.
Two women aged 64 and 43, who were inside the address, suffered leg injuries and were treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital.
The driver of the vehicle, a 61-year-old man, suffered minor injuries and was also treated at the scene.
The collision caused severe structural damage to the bungalow.
One woman who lives nearby said:
"There was just this loud bang and I thought 'what the hell is that'.
"I came out and could not believe it. A car had gone straight through the wall."
She added:
"People got in to help by breaking through the back gate and back door but police arrived after about 15 minutes."
The car was removed just before 2pm on Monday and engineers arrived to assess the damage to the bungalow which was left with a gaping hole where the front bedroom window had been.
A spokesman for Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said:
"We were called to an address in Killamarsh. The fire service, police and ambulance attended and a male person was extricated from the vehicle and treated at the scene and there was another casualty treated at the scene.
"Shoring-up equipment was used and the whole scene was made safe and we handed it over to a building inspector from North East Derbyshire District Council."
