A CAR ploughed through a wall and into a front garden.

Mum-of-two Isabel Sutton found the Honda had smashed her wall down in Arnold Avenue, Southend.

Mrs Sutton, 50, said: "I was upstairs and thought someone had dropped something into the big bin opposite the house.

"Then I just saw the car there, it had banged into the back of my Escort. I would hate to think how much this will cost to repair.

"There are always children playing on the pavement and it could have been a lot worse. It is a miracle no one was injured."

It is not thought anyone was injured in the smash at about 6.30pm today.
