'Nearly killed us': Pair watching TV as van crashes through lounge room
Two men have reflected on a lucky escape after a van flew through the front window of their house in the Adelaide Hills as they were watching TV.
The van crashed through the front window of their house on Woodside Road at Nairne, near Mount Barker around 11pm yesterday.
Home owner Adrian and housemate Mitchell were sitting on their sofa with their dog, Mojo, just centimetres away from where the vehicle struck.

"It nearly killed us, it's ridiculous," Adrian said
"It was like a bomb went off," Mitchell said.
While they both escaped uninjured, the driver, a 27-year-old Milang man was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police believe the van left the road, became airborne and crashed into the house.
The driver was taken to Mount Barker Hospital for treatment and blood tests.
SES members had to prop up the front wall of the home for safety and the van was towed away.
