Emergency services left the scene about 10.30pm.<\/p>\n
A neighbour, who asked not to be named, said he heard a \u201cmassive\u201d bang.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was an almighty crash which has left a trail of damage after the car left the road.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I went outside for a look with my torch, I could see lots of people were trying to comfort the driver \u2013 he was a young fella, maybe under 20 \u2013 and helping the shocked occupant of the home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The resident said that after the car left the road, it damaged another neighbour\u2019s retaining wall, narrowly missed a power pole, took out a bollard and hit a powerbox on another property.<\/p>\n
He said the car ended up on its side, wedged against one of the poles of a neighbour\u2019s carport, . <\/p>\n
The carport was damaged, along with the two parked cars inside.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a massive crash, which I understood could be heard as far away as Kingswood Rd.\u201d<\/p>\n
The occupant of the house declined to comment other than to say that she was \u201cdoing okay\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so grateful for all the wonderful support I\u2019ve had from friends and neighbours, and also the police and St John Ambulance staff. Everyone involved has been very kind and supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Hato Hone St John spokesman said they were notified at 9.59pm, and sent an ambulance and operations manager. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur ambulance staff assessed one patient at the scene in a minor condition, but they did not require hospital treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police were approached for comment.<\/p>\n
