    We're in the garden! Elderly women emerge unscathed after crashing car through wall and two outbuildings

    'When I got home there were two little old ladies sitting in the back garden drinking tea - with their car sticking out of the garage wall'

    This is the astonishing aftermath left by a pair of elderly women after they crashed their car through a wall and two outbuildings - before stopping in a family garden.

    The woman driver ploughed through a wall, smashed into a greenhouse and careered into a log cabin before landing the green Ford Fiesta in a garden in Herne Bay, Kent.

    Amazingly, the women walked away from the crash unscathed - and soothed their nerves by having a cup of tea with emergency services.

    Claire Clark, 36, whose two children had minutes earlier been playing in the garden last Saturday, said: "I had just taken my son to football when I got a call from my husband.

    "He said 'You better come back. There are police, the ambulance and the fire brigade in our back garden'.

    "I thought he might be exaggerating, but when I got home there were two little old ladies sitting in the back garden drinking tea - with their car sticking out of the garage wall.

    "They were alright thankfully, if a bit shaken.

    "But I can't stop thinking that my children could have been playing in the garden there right where the car came through the wall.

    "It's a miracle nobody was hurt - apart from all my tomato plants."

    Kent Fire and Rescue spokesman Alan Bradford said: "Two fire engines from Herne Bay and Whitstable attended.

    "Police and ambulance were also in attendance. One female approximately 80-years-old was assisted from the vehicle by ambulance crew. Our crews left the scene at 9.35am."
