AN elderly couple has escaped unharmed after a 4WD slammed into the front of their northside Brisbane home tonight.
Bricks and chunks of plaster littered Colin and Wilhelmina Lee's bedroom - only metres from where the couple was watching TV.
The male driver and female passenger of the vehicle were taken to the Royal Brisbane Hospital with minor injuries "as a precaution".
Mr Lee, 74, told The Courier-Mail he heard a loud bang and then "felt the whole house shake" when the crash happened about 7.10pm.
"We were just sitting there watching TV in our lounge room when we heard the most terrible screeching. It was a terrible noise," he said.
They said they were lucky they were in the lounge room and not in the bedroom. The front wall of the single-storey brick house collapsed as a result.
"It also demolished the fence, and all that. We didn't see what happened we only heard it," he said.
Several police, ambulance and fire crews attended the scene at Main Ave at Wavell Heights.
"I was shaking and a lady across the road came running out with a glass of water to calm me down," Ms Lee, 80, said.
The couple's landlord was last night organising tarping to the front of the house.
