A young girl was the sole occupant of a car which smashed into a Springvale home in Whanganui this afternoon.
Senior Constable Phil Randal said a car reversed out of the Somerset Rd property and turned a full circle before hitting the side of the house about 3.30pm.
"It's basically a case of, they reversed out of the driveway, gone around in circle and into there," Randal said.
"It was a pure accident."
