‘Were you expecting a parcel?’: Post lorry crashes into house

A Royal Mail lorry has crashed into the front of an elderly couple’s home, trapping them upstairs until firefighters arrived – reports the Independent.

Upon their arrival at the scene, one of the firemen poked his head in through the newly-made hole in the wall and asked: “’Were you expecting a parcel?”

Len and Anne Wiles were seriously shaken by the incident at around 5.45am this morning, and Ms Wiles told the BBC that things could have been a lot more serious.

She said:  “My husband jumped out of bed – went on to the landing and there was a big gaping hole and the front of a lorry.’
