A FAMILY have been uprooted after a car ploughed into their Oakwell house as they slept upstairs.
Ramesh Nerella, his wife Sunitha and two young children will be away from home for Christmas as repair works on their home on Oakwell Vale could take between four and six months.
They had gone to bed early when they heard a huge crash.
When they rushed downstairs, they found a huge hole in the side of their house and the road had been blocked off by police.
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."
