A PARMELIA house may need to be demolished after and alleged drunk driver slammed into the side of the property early this morning.
The owner of the home, Anne Lodge, was asleep when she heard what sounded like an "explosion" at about 2am.
"I just heard the screech of brakes and a big bang," Mrs Lodge said.
"I jumped out of bed and thought it was something out the front of the house. Then I realised it wasn't out the front, it was to the side of the house.
