Shocked neighbours have described the moment a drink driver smashed into the front room of his own house, causing a noise like "an earthquake".

The Jeep 4x4 crashed into the semi-detached house in Church Street, Bocking, on Saturday at 11.30pm.

Franz Holzinger, 65, admitted drink driving at Colchester Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
