A Devon family has said they are "living in fear" after their home was repeatedly hit by vehicles.

The Munns family, who live in Berry Down Crown near Combe Martin, say 17 vehicles have crashed into the property in the past three years.

During a recent incident, a car crashed into the side of the property - which then had to be stabilised by firefighters.

Kathryn Munns, 28, said it was “lucky” her parents were not injured as a result of the collision.

Kathryn and her parents continue to live at the property but admit they are unsure “how safe it is”.

Nine months ago, they say a driver swerved off a bend and went straight into their garden - smashing three Toyota cars in the process.

The Munns believe the property has been crashed into around 17 times in three years.

The family have since published a petition online, urging Devon County Council to make the A3123 safer.

A spokesperson for the authority said the road was being reviewed.
