Westwood Road in Thanet has been completely closed following a wild car crash that saw a driver smash through a lamppost before crashing into a woman’s house.

The incident involved a Fiat which was driven straight through the front room wall of the property, leaving locals stunned by the terrifying scene.

The driver fled the scene on foot, abandoning the damaged vehicle behind. Witnesses reported seeing a crate of San Miguel beers still in the back seat, suggesting the night had taken a dangerous turn.

Eyewitnesses said emergency services arrived within minutes after the driver disappeared. Several ambulances and police vehicles were seen rushing along nearby Ramsgate Road in response to the crash.

Residents have expressed outrage over the incident, demanding swift justice for the reckless driver. One local described the situation as “outrageous,” while others criticised the poor driving standards in the area.

One resident commented, “Driving standards here are shockingly poor,” while another joked that the driver might need “training wheels after this stunt.” The escape and destruction caused by the crash have left many in the community shaken and angry.

Police have not yet released an official statement but are actively investigating the incident. Motorists are advised to avoid Westwood Road while emergency crews clear the scene and inquiries continue.
