MELAKA: Occupants of a house here had a rude shock when their neighbour's car went out of control and crashed into their home in Taman Ozana Impian here this morning.
The 10.10am incident happened when the driver, a senior citizen, who was from Jalan Ozana 2, lost control of his vehicle and veered into the t-junction of Jalan Ozana 11 where the house was located.
The 68-year-old driver of the Honda City rammed through the home's autogate and the porch before crashing through its front door.
House owner, Mohd Anwar Mohd Ali, 31, said he was at the back of the house when he heard 'a very loud bang'.
"There were five of us at home, two were at the living room watching television and two were upstairs.
"Luckily the car didn't come crashing into my 57-year-old mother and my sister who is in her 20's, who were both at the living room when the incident took place," said Anwar who lives along Jalan Ozana 11 here.
Anwar, who had just renovated his house a year ago, said he had lived in the home for 10 years and this was the first time such an incident happened.
Bukit Katil Fire and Rescue Department chief, senior fire officer Alias Ahmad said the department received a distress call at 10.17am and arrived at the scene six minutes later.
"We managed to extricate the male driver who was pinned in the car at 10.29am," he said.
