WARLINGHAM, Great Britain -- The scene a car smashed into a house. Police said the car smashed into a garden, skimmed the wall of one house, damaging a bay window, and then came crashing into the neighbouring home. An elderly couple were upstairs at the time and were not hurt. The 23-year-old driver of the BMW suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital, but later released. (09/13/04 AP photo)

That house doesn't look too safe, either.

I think the guy couldn't do that a second time.. He was damn lucky he went through the brick wall and didn't hit the edge of the wall were the other sidwall meets. He would surely come out heavily injured if that had happened.

Looks like he did hit the end first and put a pretty good bow in it.

I don't think you're supposed to park there.
