“I was coming from the top and before I got to the junction, I realised my brakes had failed me so the car went straight into the house.
“I am very surprised because I checked my brakes and tyres before I left the house in the morning and this was even my second trip of the morning.”
He confirmed that he had 23 passengers in the car and some had sustained injuries.
