Proton 'crash-landed' into house

IPOH, Malaysia: Housewife Ng Lwe Mooi had a rude shock when a neighbour crashed her Proton Waja into her house in Taman Tasek Mewah here.

Ng, 59, said she was doing her household chores when she heard a loud bang at the front of her house at about 12.30pm.

"As I glanced out to check, I was shocked when I saw the car in my compound.

"From the sound of the crash, I thought a small plane had crash-landed outside my house," she added.

The driver of the car was her neighbour who lives five doors away.

Moments after the accident, Ng said the driver was rushed to the hospital by her family members.

Another resident Nazri Japeranssah, 36, said the motorist was reversing from her house about 10m away.

"I was in the living room with my elder brother and I saw the car hitting my brother's van and it continued moving towards Ng's house about 20m away," said Nazri.

"If it wasn't for my brother's van, the car could have crashed into my house," he added.
