Default Car hits Sarah's house

'Sarah' is the Sarah in my team. A car crashed into her house last night, it's caused a huge amount of damage. Driver has just FAILED his driving test. Not his car - not clear if he took it with/without consent. Driving too fast (50 limit) , he skidded on the icy road and smashed into Sarah's house. He broke his finger, girlfriend in the car broke her collarbone. Sarah's house has been declared structurally unsafe. She spent last night with friends, the loss adjuster is visiting tomorrow, and in the meantime the Council has carried out emergency stabilisation work. If Sarah had been in the kitchen, she would have been seriously hurt.

Here's a linky with pic of the kitchen window:

She looks moderately happy about it in the picture.

What a mess tho - see how much safer bikes are? You could never break a house with a bike.

No-one try to prove me wrong please!

So I guess the driver could legally have been driving if accompanied by a driver in the passenger seat with at least 3 years on their licence etc....

So hopefully, in that situation, the insurance issues would be less aggro.

Still doesn't help when you're home, where you are supposed to feel safe, is left in ruins.

It's going to be months, because the upstairs is damaged too - lots of cracks in the bricks, the front of the house will need to be rebuilt. The Council's buildingservices people have put pit props in to stop more movement, and they've boarded the house to stop thieves getting in. The hole in the wall by the window is where the kitchen sink used to be, and where the car - a Corsa - hit the house. It then appears to have bounced out and ended up upside down in the road.

Her house looks a mess. Hopefully she can get it sorted out and safe soon. She's lucky that she wasn't injured.
