At 10:59am today, emergency services rushed to Osborne Road after a driver crashed their car into a house.

The fire service said the driver was uninjured, but the property was assessed for safety.

Firefighters made the scene safe and cordoned the area off. 

A local authority building control officer attended and arranged for the building to be made structurally safe.  

 Phil, a passerby said: "I saw it happen, the driver wasn't going very fast but it caused a lot of damage, it just went smashing into the brickwork. 

"I think the driver was trying to reverse but accidentally accelerated."

"It made a really loud noise, everyone came out to look, the owners of the house weren't in at the time I don't think."

A spokesperson from Dorset Police said: "We received a report at 10.49am on Monday 14 November 2022 of a single vehicle collision in Osborne Road in Swanage.
