A grandmother has spoken of the shocking moment a car smashed into her home while her grandchildren played upstairs.
Pauline Nielsen said she thought she was hallucinating when she came into her hallway at around 4.30pm on Sunday and noticed a VW Golf had crashed into her Elswick home.
The 71-year-old was sitting just metres away in her dining room and her grandchildren, aged eight and 13, were staying with her when the vehicle veered into her home on Mill Lane and caused extensive damage to the property.
