A Watford resident’s seemingly quiet Sunday evening descended into fear after a car smashed into a neighbour’s house.
At around 8.30pm on Sunday, February 2, a loud crash was heard on Cassiobury Park Avenue. It was only when residents left their houses to investigate that they realised the extent of the situation.
A resident spoke to Watford News and said: “We heard a massive bang, and I knew straight away it was a car accident.
“It was awful. This car was on top of the neighbour’s car and there was this immediate feeling of fear. I thought someone might have died.”
A group of teens, who allegedly had only just passed their test three weeks earlier, sped along the road before crashing into a neighbour’s house and mounting a car. It is believed that they were not from the Watford area.
The resident revealed that speeding is rife in the area, and that the community had been asking for speed bumps to be put along the triangle on Cassiobury Park Avenue.
They continued: “We’ve lived here for 10 years, other residents for even longer. This is an ongoing issue.
“I walk my dog right past that house in the evenings. One of the neighbours said that nothing will be done until someone dies. Thank God no one was hurt this time.”
A Herts Police spokesperson confirmed: “Police were called at 8.28pm on Sunday, February 2 to reports of a collision involving a grey Toyota Yaris, another vehicle and two buildings in Gade Avenue, Watford.
“Officers attended the scene, along with colleagues from the fire and rescue service. Both vehicles were recovered.”
