    How on Earth did this happen? (56k non)

    Just up my street, a Micra has managed to drive forward into the side of somebody's garage, but somehow is also wedged backwards against a fence...

    How did they do this???

    Thats just strange, could be that it crushed the front end and "sprung" back slightly due to the force.

    Like the crash tests where the car flies back about 3 foot.

    Wtf?!

    "...the other man, who they believe could be the driver, was found under the front wheels."

    "My husband thought the dog had knocked something over downstairs but as he got to the bedroom door he could see the hole in the wall..."

    So the car actually took off, and drove through a wall 12ft above the ground? That is some seriously sketchy driving.
