West Yorkshire Police were called to Ashworth Road, Dewsbury, at 7.43pm on Friday, where the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The silver Audi collided with another vehicle before it hit the house and then continued driving for several metres with the front door attached to the car.
