A WOMAN has been left to feel like a prisoner in her own home after her driveway has been rendered unusable following a three-year issue.
Tamicha Gates from Jennings, Missouri, is immediately reduced to tears over the struggles she has had with her driveway.
Problems began three years ago when a tree fell during a storm in 2021.
It is thought that this damaged a water line as since then water has continued to emerge from underneath the tree.
This then flows to the driveway and freezes up in the winter causing a dangerous ice rink.
As Fox News affiliate KTVI visited her home, in a bid to help Gates, she demonstrated how she has to get to and from her house by scooting on the ice while sitting on a scarf.
