A FATHER and his three young children had a lucky escape after a car smash in Tilehurst.
The black Vauxhall Zafira he was driving collided with a parked Ford Southern Electric van which then hit a tree and a third car in Mayfair at 6.10pm last night.
More than 30 neighbours came out of their homes after the smash and the congested road was brought to a standstill for two hours.
A Mayfair resident told The Chronicle: βIt was horrendous. It was like a bomb going off.β
