This is the carnage left after a car ploughed into a Northumberland family's home on Christmas Day.
Emergency services were scrambled after a car smashed into a front of a property on Wansbeck Close in Ellington at around midday.
The car was said to have been lodged into the building with the elderly woman driving the vehicle trapped inside until emergency services arrived.

She was later taken to hospital alongside another patient, who is not believed to have been in the car at the time of the collision. Their conditions are currently unknown.
The occupants of the property were lucky to escape without injury, but have been left with major damage to their property.
A spokeswoman for North East Ambulance Service said: "We were called to reports of a road traffic collision at a private address in Ellington at 1.25pm on Christmas Day.
“We dispatched a clinical team leader and two ambulance crews, and transported two patients to Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital."
Dramatic pictures show the trail of destruction left after the Christmas Day incident. The area has been taped off with the front of the house boarded up.
The garden is strewn with smashed up bricks, window and other debris as a result of the crash.
Northumbria Police have been contacted for comment.
