A taxi driver crashed into a house on Upper Newgate Street on Thursday after his minivan was struck by another vehicle, in an incident that left both the motorist and a nearby resident startled but unhurt.
Veteran taxi operator Agnelos George said he was driving westbound when a Toyota Vitz emerged unexpectedly from an alley and hit his black Honda minivan, causing him to lose control.
“Then when he hit me, I went out of control and hit the whole house,” George told ABS News. “I was frightened because the car would not stop at all and it was heading to the house. It’s a good thing the house was there.”
George said the other driver briefly approached him after the crash, saying: “We can fix that up.” But when George insisted on calling the police, the man returned to his car and fled the scene.
The occupant of the house, Zavier Ford, was in another room at the time of the crash. He told ABS News he initially mistook the sound for part of a video game he was playing.
“There were already gunshots going on [in the game], so I was like, wait, this game car so loud,” Ford recalled. “I get up to come outside and see the car coming straight to the house.”
No injuries were reported. However, police say the driver of the Toyota Vitz could face multiple charges as investigations continue.

Which direction did the driver of the Vitz head towards? With all these cameras up around St. John’s, there must be enough footage to identify the car and find the person….
A Vitz with the windows up and tinted, no stickers, no modified paint job, no 17 inch rims and the number plate visibility was caught at a bad angle….The streets loaded with those so that would be tricky if that’s the case…
And the SOB fled the scene? Best believe the taxi man would have had to foot the bill for everything cause given how he ran, he neither has license, insurance or money, but jail always have space man.
