A Scots mum has been left traumatised after a pensioner ploughed his car into her living room leaving her young daughters trapped upstairs.Maxine Holland, 36, was alone with her two kids in her home on Anderson Drive, Cowdenbeath at around 9pm on Sunday, April 10 when a 71-year-old man drove his car through her front window.Horrified Maxine, who is mum to 10-year-old Courtney and Macey, 4, heard a massive thud before looking up and seeing the bright lights of the car in her living room.The vehicle was embedded into the front window of the family home and the stunned driver was still inside.Maxine's husband Gary Holland was at work at the time of the incident and said he received a frantic call from his wife screaming, telling him he needed to come home straight away.Security guard Gary told the Daily Record: "Maxine got such a fright, as you would expect.

She was in total shock at what had just happened. "She was just sitting watching the TV and bang, a man drives into our house.

She said he was speechless too and was just sitting in the car with his mouth wide open. There was dust, rubble and bricks everywhere."The man's car had hit a wall in the living room which then jammed the door leading the hallway, meaning Maxine could not get upstairs to get her children.Gary added: "The crash jammed the living room door so Maxine couldn't get to the girls. "She said was panicking and screaming, worried about their safety too. "Courtney and Macey didn't know what was going on.

They just heard this massive noise and then heard their mum screaming. It's was traumatising for all of them."A neighbour heard the commotion and came out to help.
