For some reason, this article doesn't say where it was. It's in Lordship Road, N16, and the house is just next to the Red Lion in Church Street.

It looks as if she took the turn from Church Street too fast and ended up crashing into the house.
could the lady who owns the house not take legal proceedings against the driver for the damages?
I hope so.
She should have been able to just claim off the driver's car insurer. Not sure why that hasn't happened, the criminal case against the driver is unrelated to the victim, it's the CPS vs the driver not the pensioner vs the driver.
