A fully-unqualified chav-cyclist (he was nothing more than that - Ed.) ploughed his car into a house on Christmas Day — causing it to partially collapse.
He smashed a 9ft hole in the detached home, forcing the family to evacuate. No one inside the property was hurt.
Firefighters had to use support beams for the house to stabilise it.
Gas engineers also attended after reports of a leak at the property in Grays, Essex.
A neighbour said: “They must have been travelling at some speed — maybe 80mph or so to do that kind of damage.
“They hit the electrics and gas supplies. The gas man came round and told me to leave. So I went to the pub.”
Essex Police said: “A man was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, driving without a licence and no insurance and remains in custody.”
No licence. No insurance. So nothing but a chav-cyclist, IOW.
Earlier this month, Tyler Carley, 20, was killed in a fatal collision just weeks before Christmas, near Mangotsfield, on the evening of December 5.
He was a passenger in a scaffolding lorry when tragedy struck on the A4174 close to Bristol.
Emergency services sadly pronounced him dead at the scene. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/25168502/driver-ploughs-car-house-christmas-day-partially-collapse/
