Vehicle crashes into family home
By LARRY ANDREW
A FAMILY of seven preparing for bed on Saturday night were shocked when a vehicle crashed into the sitting room of their home in Lae, just missing the bedroom.
Elvis Bone, a Telikom PNG employee who lives with his family in Chinatown, said the incident happened around 9.30pm.
Bone told The National that neighbours shouted when the vehicle travelling at high speed hit the road curb and crashed into the home.
“I was asleep with two of my kids. My two sons were in the bathroom trimming their hair,” he said.
“I woke up when they and their mother were calling for help.”
Bone said the fortunate thing was that his family was safe.
The home which belongs to his employer was damaged.
“It’s my first experience of such an incident happening,” he said.
“Miraculously, my five children and wife are safe. I’ve heard such incidents happening but cannot believe that it also happened to me.”
No one was in a sitting room when the vehicle crashed into it.
“It hit the caucus cage and straight into the living room, missing the bedroom,” he said.
Lae Metropolitan Superintendent Chris Kunyanban said he was waiting for a report from officers investigating the incident.

Wow!
Confiscate the vehicle to compensate for the damage and life threat to your family
So sad but thank God that they were all saved
So sad but we thank God for protecting your family
This driver must be arrested and charged by the Police and locked up for nearly causing death.
What happened to the driver?
Lots of Papua New Guineans are full of show off or pride and wants to show their driving skills as if driving a car is difficult. Anybody can be driver so we all need to get real and enough of driving stunts and arrogance.
Arrest the driver for nearly causing death. (Attempting to murder)
Land of the unexpected, some times it happens along the way. Life is not easy !!!
When dawn appears, some rest but some are still busy roaming and ending up in a residents.
This night rider should be charged and damages met.
Try travelling in a tulait-tulait convey of PMV buses from Lae to Hagen. The drivers take both lanes and race each other without care for on coming vehicles. It is scarry shit, I sometimes feels we might be plowing into the houses on the side of the Highlands Highway but these drivers are incredible.
PNG is the land of unexpected, sometimes accident could occurs due to car problem. Need to investigate more on how the accident was happened.
Your next improvement get your employer to thicker/higher buns walls around house, so next similar accident can hit the wall, can hardly come into your living room..
