Now systems developer Sion, 35, is facing extensive repair works to his home, as reported by Need To Know.
He said: “The driver came over the brow of the hill, and from the sound of things attempted to start a deliberate wheelspin and lost control and hit my house
“He got out and tried to make out to witnesses he wasn’t driving.
“He said something about his ‘buddy’, he couldn’t believe his ‘buddy’ ran off.
“He was trying to make out that he wasn’t the one driving
“Then he left the scene in another car before the police arrived
“The police arrived within six minutes.
“I won’t really know the extent of the damage until a surveyor has been out next week.
“But it looks like the front of the house will have to be taken down and rebuilt.
“The wall has been moved by the impact.
“It doesn’t look dramatic but it does mean it’s no longer attached to the rest of the house properly
“But I think the house insurance has it all covered thankfully.”
Gwent police has been approached for comment.
Viewers were shocked by the driving.
One said: “He was going far too fast.
“Nevermind the built up area and bad road conditions.”
Another said: “Somebody can’t drive.”
While a third added: “Looks like he was trying to blame somone else.”
