Runaway vehicle hits woman's gas meter

Posted by The Journal on Jun 30, 09 01:21 PM in News

A musician had a lucky escape today when a runaway van ploughed into her house and her gas mains supply. Maureen Davison, 51, who plays the Northumbrian pipes, was asleep in an upstairs rear bedroom of her house in Pottery Bank Court, Morpeth, at around 7am when the van went out of control as it was being driven down the bank towards the town centre.

It smashed into the front of her home causing substantial damage to her front entrance and the gas meter box.

Structural engineers were called to the scene today.
