An ESA spokesperson said paramedics treated a mother and child at the scene before transporting them to hospital in a stable condition.

A crane was used to extract the car from the property. It is an unknown at this stage what caused the crash.

I understand this occurred in a 40km/h school zone during school hours. I cannot imagine the forces required to be able to get this car to launch itself in such a manner. Please drive safely people, there is too much trauma occurring at the moment.
