A CAR smashed into two walls on a narrow residential street at the weekend.

The three occupants of the black Seat ran from the crash scene on Carr Lane in Slaithwaite.

Tracy Fellows was in the front room of her terraced home when the car ploughed into her front yard wall on Saturday evening.

She said: “I heard this rumbling and the whole house started shaking. I ran to the window and saw a carful of people. They looked a bit shocked and they were arguing.

“Then they got out of the car and legged it.

“When I saw them running off, I thought that at least no-one had been killed. They were lucky to be alive.”

Mrs Fellows, 44, said the driver was a white man while his passengers were a black man and a white woman. All three were aged around 20.

The mother-of-two added that speeding was a problem on Carr Lane, which has a 30mph limit. Mrs Fellows, who has lived on the street for 30 years, said: “There are a lot of young people who come up here speeding. I’ve seen people doing 60mph.”

The car also hit the wall of Mrs Fellows’s next-door neighbour Neil English.

He said: “I heard a massive bang. When I came out there was stone everywhere, it looked like a bomb had gone off. The damage was unbelievable. These are solid walls, you’d think they’d been hit by a tank rather than a medium-sized car.

“It’s lucky there was no-one walking on the pavement at the time or they would have been killed.”

Firefighters from Slaithwaite Station were on the scene shortly after the crash, which happened around 6.50pm. They made the car safe while police officers cordoned off the road and began searching for the vehicle’s occupants.
