A car has smashed through the front of a house after a two-vehicle crash.
A Vauxhall Corsa hit the parked Dacia Logan that then went through the brickwork of the property in Southbourne, Bournemouth, on Sunday evening.
Nobody inside the home in Cranleigh Road was hurt.
Dorset Police said the driver of the Corsa was taken to hospital with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening.
The house was left badly damaged following the crash
The force said a man had been arrested in connection with the crash.
Officers attended the scene alongside ambulance and fire crews at about 19:50 BST.
A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "One vehicle was removed last night and the other will be moved today once the house has been inspected by a structural engineer."
Yvonne Steele lives next to the site of the crash
Yvonne Steele lives next door to the site of the crash and said she "couldn't believe it" when she heard a bang after a wheelie bin hit a neighbours bedroom window.
She said the car must have struck the bin and sent it flying through the air towards the house.
Ms Steele, who called emergency services, described the scene as "carnage" and "frightening".
