Vicki said: “We have been left with a mangled trampoline and a big gaping hole in our wall.

“Thankfully everyone is safe as we had just got in.

“I’m in shock and feeling very sick as it could of been so different.”

The wet conditions during Wednesday meant her children had not been playing out.

The crash took place opposite Moor Nook primary school.

Two men fled the scene following the crash but were later arrested by police.

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service attended and made safe the scene and the car was towed away shortly after the crash.

A police spokeswoman confirmed no one was hurt in the crash.
