Homeowners in Cornwall, Ont. had a rude awakening last weekend when a car crashed through their backyard fence, narrowly missing their house.
It's the fifth time in 14 years a vehicle has crashed through the fence of their home east of Ottawa.
Richard Bourguignon and his partner June Nadon, who reside at the end of Highway 138, have been grappling with this recurring danger for years.
Bourguignon expressed his concerns, saying, "It's a big safety concern. This is the tragedy that we have to face, the 138 oncoming traffic."
Since 2009, they have experienced five instances of vehicles, including a dump truck, plowing through their fence at high speeds.
Recalling a previous incident, Richard mentioned, "When the dump truck hit the wall, the whole wall had to be replaced. The bumper was inside the basement."
