A car swerved off the road and hit a house in Waltham Abbey after the 19-year-old driver fell ill behind the wheel.
The car, a silver Vauxhall Corsa, left Sewardstone Road and hit the front garden wall of a property shortly after 12.30pm on Friday (July 17).
No-one in the house was injured but the driver, who is thought to have passed out - was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow.
An update on his condition is expected later today.
