A HOUSEWIFE escaped serious injury by seconds as a car careered into her garage after hitting two other cars and severing a gas main.
Several houses had to be evacuated and a fire brigade spokesman said it was lucky the gas was not ignited and no one was seriously hurt. Mrs Julia Blackstock, 25, of Openshaw Drive, Blackburn, had just collected clothes from a dryer in the garage when the accident happened.
