A woman has described the terrifying moment a car crashed into her mother's home in Tauranga, destroying an en suite shower.
Carol Stirling and her 74-year-old mother were sitting inside their Lakes Boulevard home in Pyes Pa around 4.30pm yesterday when they heard a loud noise coming down the road.
"You could hear the car coming then a bang and the whole house shook. It was quite terrifying. The noise was a like a shriek.
"We jumped up, rushed outside, couldn't see anything at the front of the house but went around the side and saw the car there and rang 111."
