Lydia Hribar, whose son, his girlfriend and kids were inside at the time, said all were upstairs and miraculously not hurt.

“Yeah they’re very on edge. They were actually traumatized. They’re thinking now, oh, what if our kids were there? They’re thinking, how are we going to get through this? Are we going to get through this?” Hribar said.

Firefighters and police were able to stabilize the house and help the driver, who suffered a medical emergency.

The driver first hit a sign, witnesses said, and then the home. Both the driver and passenger had minor injuries.

Neighbors said it isn’t the first time this has happened. Someone recently hit the house next door.
