Three women were pinned between a car and their home after a driver smashed into the parked vehicle in their driveway on the Canada Day weekend.
A Surrey family is recovering from both mental and physical trauma after a terrifying car crash at their own front door over Canada Day weekend.
Jatinder Mann’s mother, sister and sister-in-law were sitting on a bench in front of their garage on July 3, when a vehicle drove straight into their driveway, slamming into a parked car.
“And that parked car pushed my mom, my sister and my sister-in-law into the garage and they were stuck in between the car and the garage door,” Mann told Global News.
“My four-year-old was literally playing, riding his bike, a minute ago when this incident happened. Also, he was maybe 10 feet away from the whole incident. He witnessed everything.”
The three women were taken to hospital and are recovering from lacerations and deep tissue injuries, Mann said.
Fortunately no one suffered any broken bones, but Mann said her mother, who is 70, is facing a long road to recovery.
“For that age, surviving from these kinds of injuries is another challenge,” she said.
Surrey RCMP said police attended the crash scene, and have ruled out both driver impairment and speed.
