“To our surprise, we sew a white Camry ploughing through the precast wall,” she said.
Upon inspecting they found a 82-year-old woman stuck in the car. Bettie said it took the woman almost an hour to exit the vehicle through the passenger door.
She allegedly claimed that she did not know what had happened. Bettie explained that it looked like she was coming from Robert Broom Drive and turned into Cecil Knight Road, crossed from the left lane to the right, drove over the sidewalk and through their wall.
“She came to a standstill against a tree that has been standing in our yard for 30 plus years,” Bettie explained.
Bettie said that she is so grateful to the Lord that no pedestrians were involved and that her grandchildren were not playing in the yard at that moment.
“I suggest that the woman gets a chauffeur to drive her vehicle. That will be less stress for her and the other road users, and residents will have no worries or be inconvenienced,” Bettie said.
She also suggested that traffic officers do more regular patrols on these busy roads and that speed bumps be installed on Cecil Knight Road.
