A DRIVER has described the moment he lost control of his brand new £34,000 Skoda and crashed it through the front of his Stratton house,
writes Daniel Angelini.
The car’s owner, who did not wish to give his name, had only just collected it from the dealership when disaster struck.
He said as he tried to reverse it into the drive, it careened backwards smashing through the front door leaving a hole.
He said: “It was a shock, it happened so quickly.
“The automatic handbrake comes on for a few seconds when you stop and then when put in reverse, the car still creeps back a little on a flat road but not on a slope like the one on my driveway.
