JOE Skeen got an extra "window" he didn't bargain for when a runaway tractor embedded itself in the front of his home.

The accident happened at tea-time, when Mr Skeen was in his back garden at his home in Laxey Road, Blackburn.

He said after he heard a loud bang he went in to find the tractor had hit his house. No-one was hurt.
