Tragedy was averted on Sunday after five people including a 5 month old baby and a 13 year old girl escaped injury after the vehicle they were travelling in crashed into a house. According to reports, it was established that the accident happened after an insect jumped onto the steering wheel.

The driver reportedly attempted to kill the insect resulting in the vehicle veering off the road, climbing over a fallen tree before crashing into the house.

The occupants of the house were not injured as they allegedly threatened to assault the driver. Other residents intervened and prevented the assault.

The house was extensively damaged in the accident.
