Car wedged between house and wall after smashing into Duncraig home
A car and a home have been destroyed in a crash in Perth’s northern suburbs early this morning, after the driver lost control and ended up sandwiching the car on its side between the house and the wall.
The driver was travelling south along Marri Road in Duncraig before losing control near the intersection of Iolanthe Drive.
Further details of what happened leading up to the crash are unclear, and an investigation is now underway.
9News Perth spoke with neighbours who say they heard a loud bang around 11pm last night, while others claimed they heard nothing at all.
