A lorry has crashed into the kitchen of a house in Derbyshire.
Police said the semi-detached property, on Lincoln Way in Midway, Swadlincote, had been struck by the vehicle just before 08:00 BST.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue sent a crew to the scene but a spokesman said he did not believe anybody had been injured.
A telephone pole was also brought down in the crash, taking out the phone lines of several houses.
Paul Wallis, watch manager, said such accidents were rare.
I read that they were starting home improvements in Swad, it has happened sooner than I expected.

Probably caused at least £5 worth of damage.

Bit more info in the Derby Telegraph.
Unusual for a VOLVO to lose its footing, if it had been a DAF CF it may have been more understandable.
I have added a new service to the portfolio!

I won’t but I do now tend to feel for drivers in this position as they don’t seem to get the benefit of the doubt.
I also know of someone who was killed when he tried to get back into a truck after he left it and it started to roll away, nobody will know if the brake was ever applied or whether it released itself, either way a sad day and why I always keep an eye over my shoulder when around supposedly stationary trucks .
