The vehicle, being driven by an 80-year-old man who was with his wife, careered through a wall and fencing, hit the hot tub below and landed on grass.

The elderly couple had been parked in car park behind Wilkos on the High Street which backs directly onto the family's garden.

Mr Stevenson, 18, said: "My first thought was, 'I hope the driver' is okay my second thought was, 'well he can't park there'.

"They were parked in the car park and they must have been leaving and I think his knee might have locked while he was on the accelerator."

"The scary thing was my brother was in the hot tub 20 minutes before. It could have been a lot worse."
