A family in Cullen, Essequibo Coast, was left traumatised in the early hours of Tuesday morning when a car crashed into their rented home.
Shurwayne Peters told Ignite News that he was asleep at around 3am when he was awakened by a loud noise, and got up to investigate.
He said he was shocked to find that a car had crashed into the veranda of his home, and was initially terrified that someone may have been seriously injured or killed.
“I came out and saw my TV damaged, the tablet and the wall, along with some other things. I was so scared,” Peters related.
Peters said his wife also came out after hearing the noise.
The driver of the vehicle reportedly escaped serious injury but was taken to hospital for medical attention.
Police later visited the scene and launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
The family is now assessing the damage to their home and belongings.
