Car smashes into couple's upstairs bedroom in Epsom, Surrey, as they sleep

The homeowners were asleep in the early hours of Sunday morning when the silver coloured Lexus took flight, completely destroying one side of the property in Epsom, Surrey.

Police said the vehicle mounted a parked Audi before hitting the side of the house, causing ‘considerable damage’ to the pair’s master bedroom.

One shocked neighbour explained how the car sounded like ‘a plane falling out of the sky’ when it crashed into the house.

The driver of the car and two passengers were taken to hospital with minor injuries after the crash which also caused damage to five cars, a post box and a fence. …

‘It sounded like what I would imagine a plane coming out of the sky would,’ explained one neighbour.

‘I think it flew about 80ft before it came to a rest in the side of the house.

‘The family inside were so incredibly lucky to escape without a scratch.

‘It actually went into the couple’s bedroom and their two children were asleep next door.’

While another added: ‘Bridge Road is on a very tight junction and it looks to me that the driver may have been speeding and taken the corner too quickly.’
