A shocked family felt their house shake as a car crashed into it Sunday evening.
Taxi driver Akram Hussain, 48, his wife Nazia and their four children were only yards away inside when the automatic Vauxhall Corsa car crashed into the living room wall of the family home in Slough at 7pm. It was being driven by a woman leaving a nearby house.
Mr Hussain said: "The whole house shook. We all rushed out and the lady who had been driving the car was there being comforted by her husband. The fire brigade came and told us the house was not safe."
Mr Hussain and his family were offered shelter by friends who live nearby. But their house has a big hole in the brickwork at the front and a large crack right through the main structure.
Mr Hussain was back at work on Monday driving his taxi and waiting to hear the result of an expected visit by a structural engineer. He was philosophical about the disaster, saying 'what can you do?'
The family have lived at the house for eight years and his children are aged between 14 and 20.
