Shock as lamp-post hits house

Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), July 24, 2006

A two-vehicle crash gave a householder an unusual wake-up call - a lamp-post on his roof.

The lamp-post fell after a collision between two cars at Ainley Top at about 7am on Saturday morning.

A Honda Civic driven by a 23-year-old Newsome woman went round Ainley Top roundabout and she had just started to go along Halifax Road.

The car then veered and mounted the kerb before striking the lamp-post.

A Fiat Scudo van driven by a 39-year-old Elland man and which had been behind the Honda went into the rear of the car.

The force of the impact toppled the damaged lamp-post, which fell on to a bungalow, damaging the roof.

No-one in the bungalow was injured.

The driver of the Honda suffered minor injuries.
