The Walthery Avenue resident wasn’t injured in the late afternoon mishap, which brought village police, firefighters, EMS workers and a code inspector.

Freeing her foot, the woman turned the car around in her neighbor’s backyard and drove down their driveway to the street and back to her house.

She then dialed 911.

The vehicle sustained moderate to heavy front-end and undercarriage damage.

The code inspector deemed the garage structurally sound, despite the heavily damaged back wall.

Village police were investigating.
