Saturday night shocker as car smashes into house on Red Bank

Shocking video footage has captured the moment that a car left the road going down Red Bank, hit a curb and then smashed into a house 

The terrifying incident happened at around 7.15pm on Saturday night when the car appears on CCTV camera (which has been widely shared locally since) to lose control on the sharp right-hand bend before heading straight into the house.

Emergency services have confirmed that one man in the house was taken to hospital as a precaution, and the driver of the vehicle was also taken to hospital, where he is still being treated for his injuries.
