A BARNSLEY woman had a lucky escape when a car smashed into her home as she was upstairs sleeping.
Gillian Dodson was fast asleep in the front bedroom of the stone built terraced house in Old Mill Lane when she was woken by a tremendous bang at around 7.50am on Monday.
She jumped out of bed and went downstairs to discover the wall between her door and window had been pushed well into her front room.
Gillian, 59, who works at Barker’s Butchers in Barnsley Market, said: “I was having a lay in as Monday is a day off from work when I heard a very loud bang.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
