Two sisters were left buried beneath rubble after a van believed to being driven by a 15-year-old ploughed into their home as they watched TV.

Georgina Smith, aged 54, suffered a fractured cheekbone, jaw and eye socket and a bleed on the brain following the crash at her Trentham bungalow.

Sister Kerry Smith – who has MS – had been thrown from the sofa as the van wrecked their house.

They have had to move out of their home of 44 years.

Kerry, aged 56, said: ‘We were just sitting watching TV. She was sitting at one end of the settee and me the other. I heard this bang and I was on my knees.

‘I looked back and I could see this van but I couldn’t see Georgina. I had to crawl to the hallway to reach the landline. My mobile was somewhere under the rubble.

‘I called the emergency services. The operator was asking me questions like “Is she breathing?”. She wasn’t just breathing, she was screaming. There was a pool of blood, it was a bloodbath, it was my leg that was bleeding.

‘The emergency services had to dig her out from the rubble. I had to go out to the ambulance without shoes or anything. I got in the ambulance but I wouldn’t leave until I saw my sister come out.’

Royal Stoke consultants are monitoring Georgina’s bleed on the brain and may operate once the swelling has reduced.

Kerry added: ‘It’s not going to be a quick process.’

Staffordshire Police have revealedthe occupants of the Ford Tourneo had fled from the Pacific Road crime scene following the incident in the early hours of Sunday, November 19.

Two 16-year-old boys and a 15-year-old girl were later arrested on suspicion of aggravated vehicle taking.

Kerry added: ‘There will be no licence and no insurance and they must have been going at some speed to cause that devastation.

‘Forty-four years of memories in that home are destroyed now. My mum and dad’s ashes are in the bungalow. There are things which are sentimental. It’s obliterated. It’s like a bomb’s hit, never mind a van.’
