MILLHOUSE Lane in Moreton was closed to traffic this afternoon after a car crashed into a house.
The incident, which occured at around 4pm, was the second time in four months that the property at the junction of Tamworth Grove and Millhouse Lane had been hit by a vehicle. In December, a single-decker bus skidded on black ice before it mounted the kerb and crashed into the building's extension wall.
An investigation is underway to establish the cause of the incident.
The injured driver, who is in his 30s, was taken to hospital, where his condition was described as serious but not life-threatening.
Neighbours told the Globe that they heard a loud bang before coming out to see what had happened.
It is believed the driver of the blue Seat involved in the crash was taken ill at the wheel and lost control of his vehicle.
The car is understood to have collided with vehicles further up Millhouse Lane before driving into the house extension.
