Car smashes into home - while "doing a U-turn"

This shocking footage shows the moment when a car smashed into a family home while attempting to ‘perform a U-turn’ on their driveway.

The CCTV video shows the grey Audi A3 vehicle heading along the quiet road before making a sharp turn towards the front of the white property

But the hatchback then suddenly accelerates forward in the direction of the house - before crashing into the side of it.

And sadly, the building was left with 'significant structural damage' after the impact caused the outer wall to ‘partially collapse’.

The shocking incident unfolded on a residential street in Blackburn, Lancs., at around 6.30pm on Friday (Oct 4).
