Cambridge Daily News 21 May 1924: car collides with house

An unusual accident occurred at Trumpington when a student of St John's College was returning from London in a De Dion Bouton two seater car. On coming round the bend on the main road the car ran into a house with devastating results. Bricks were scattered right across the road and a gaping hole in the wall was so big that it is surprising that the whole front of the house did not collapse. Fortunately no one was in the house and the front room was empty of furniture as the tenant had packed preparatory to leaving.
