A group of pensioners had to be evacuated from their retirement homes after a car crashed into a house and burst a gas pipe.
Between 15 and 20 elderly people had to leave their houses and flats in Tower House Close, Cuckfield, after a car ploughed through the wall of a home and hit the gas meter.
The woman who was driving the car put the vehicle into neutral and it rolled down the hill and smashed into the building at around 2pm on Tuesday (March 27).
The gas company was called to switch off the supply and nobody was seriously hurt.
