A NEIGHBOUR living next door to a house where a car smashed into the garden wall said vehicles had also crashed into her garage twice.
Police cordoned off part of Bishops Drive, in Oakwood, for more than an hour after the car hit the garden wall yesterday at about 1.10pm.
Officers said the 21-year-old driver was trapped in his car and firefighters had to cut off the side door to release him, before he was taken to hospital with leg and neck injuries.
A spokesman for Derbyshire police said his injuries were not life-threatening. Firefighter and watch manager Paul Sharp said an off-duty nurse administered first-aid to the driver.
Both the car and garden wall were heavily damaged by the smash. The cause is not yet know and police are investigating.
But Claire Annable, 36, who lives next door to the house where it happened, said it was the fourth incident in the past 10 years to happen outside her home.
She said vehicles had crashed into her garage twice, while another had been involved in a collision with a child and hit her garden wall.
She said: "I would much prefer to see some sort of traffic calmer on the road – perhaps a give-way sign – because it's crazy to have had this many incidents here in that amount of time.
"We often take about moving because of it. It's a nice place to live and houses here are lovely but it's a lot to deal with."
