The Ford Ka crashed through the wall of her bungalow home in Queens Road, Clacton, and ploughed across the garden, damaging plants.

Claire Matthews, 19, who works at Morrisons superstore, said: "At first I cried because of my cats."

No-one one was in the bungalow when the accident happened and no-one was injured in the incident.

It is believed no other vehicles were involved.
