A car crashed through the front wall of a family’s home, leaving their daughter trapped.
The white Ford hit the property in Cottonwood Close, Crawley, at around 4.30pm last Friday (July 28) and came to a stop in the living room.
Screams could be heard as eight-year-old Alexus White was trapped under the vehicle, who miraculously managed to escape with relatively minor injuries to her face.
