In a dramatic turn of events, a Porsche driver found themselves in a spot of trouble after crashing their high-end vehicle into a newly built house.
The sleek, dark grey sports car, valued at £100,000, collided with the front porch, embedding itself into the wall and bringing down bricks and masonry onto the 191 mph machine.
The Porsche Taycan, known for its impressive 0-60 mph acceleration in just 2.6 seconds, ended up with its hazard lights on amidst the rubble.

Nearby, a young man, dressed in black trousers, shoes, and a blue shirt, sat on the pavement, his head in his hands and a bottle of water at his feet, seemingly in shock.
This incident occurred on Fenton Road in Harrow, northwest London, around 6 p.m. on June 12.
The crash prompted a swift response from police, paramedics, and firefighters. Fortunately, while the driver was injured, the injuries were not life-threatening.
Another individual was also hurt, although it remains unclear if anyone inside the house was affected.
A neighbor captured the chaotic aftermath on their mobile phone, and the bizarre nature of the accident quickly became a talking point among locals.
Harpreet Singh humorously remarked on the real estate appeal of the property, joking about its unique indoor-outdoor feel.
Danielle Critchy quipped, “Careful love, there’s a house there,”
while Annie Laurie added, “Sorry mate, you can’t park there.”
Mark Stubbs noted the driver’s diligence in using the hazard lights, and another local punster said, “He’s Taycan the whole wall out.”
A spokesperson from the London Ambulance Service confirmed their response to the incident, stating,
“We were called at 6:13 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 June, to reports of a road traffic collision in Fenton Road, Harrow. We sent resources, including an ambulance crew and an incident response officer. We treated two patients at the scene before transporting one to the hospital.”
