An eyewitness said, ‘It looked like it had ploughed through the living room or at least knocked it in’
A driver has escaped unscathed after a Tesla smashed into the front of a London home.
Photographs show the aftermath of the collision, which took place on Old Ford Road in Tower Hamlets on Monday morning (August 24).
Local cyclist Oliver McGough, 35, said it looked as though the ‘whole living room’ of the Victorian home had caved in.
He said: “It didn’t look structurally sound, I was surprised they didn’t put jacks in there to hold it up.
“It looked like it had ploughed through the living room or at least knocked it in.”
The nearby resident added: “Literally every night we get kids zooming at around 50, 60, 70 miles an hour zooming down there.”
Visible close to the crashed Tesla Model 3, which has its airbags activated and driver door open, appears to be a box of Smartwhip cream chargers.
Designed for catering use as a whipping agent for whipped cream, these canisters contain nitrous oxide.
No injuries have been reported as a result of the crash and it is understood there were no casualties at the scene – a 20mph road.
The Metropolitan Police was contacted for comment.
A police cordon at the scene has since been lifted.
