Toowoomba Fire and Emergency Services station officer Tim Akers said a householder had returned from grocery shopping and had taken some groceries into the house in Abelia St.
He then returned to the car, not realising that the engine was still running. He put his foot on the accelerator and the car ran forward smashing though a brick wall.
The house was not habitable after the crash and engineers were being called to check the structure.
The car caused extensive damage in the house. Nev Madsen
