A seven-year-old boy in western Sydney has narrowly escaped serious injury after a car crashed through the wall of his home, just moments after he left the room.
The dramatic crash unfolded just before 6 pm on Medallist Parade in Colebee, when a Kia SUV veered off the road and slammed into the front of the house, destroying the wall of a room where the child had been playing with toys seconds earlier.
“I heard this bang, bang, bang,” said the horrified homeowner and the boy’s mother, Prianko Kapoor told 7News.
“I turned around and I saw smoke inside the house and I saw a big hole.”
The impact caused significant structural damage, leaving the family unsure when they’ll be able to return to normal life.
“We have to actually figure out how to make this house secure again to live in,”
Kapoor added.
The SUV driver, also a mother, had two toddlers in the car at the time. She was taken to the hospital for mandatory testing and was later cleared by paramedics.
Incredibly, no one was injured in the crash. Kapoor said she was shaken but grateful:
“I’m so thankful to God, my son is safe.”
