DAVIE, FLA. (WSVN) - A car crashed into a home in Davie while the homeowner was working.
Davie Police and Fire Rescue crews responded to the 9300 block of Old Orchard Road, at around 2 p.m., Thursday.
According to police, the driver suffered minor injuries and was removed from the vehicle. They also said the driver had a medical episode, and as of Thursday afternoon, it does not appear he will be cited for the incident.
Perla McMaster, the homeowner, said she was at home working when the crash happened, but she was not in her home office. She added there was a dog inside of the crashed car, but it was also OK.
“I’m a work-at-home. I work with the computer,” she said. “That was what I was doing, and about 2:30, there was a big crash and things coming my way, and I tried to dodge it and just in shock. I got hit with some debris, but I think I’m OK.”
No one inside of the home was hurt, police said, but McMaster was scraped from the debris.
“It was upside down. The car was upside down,” McMaster said. “Just a laceration, I’m a lucky duck.”
Cameras captured a large hole in one of the home’s front walls and extensive damage in the office. McMaster said she will be able to stay in the house, and late Thursday night, the front of her home was boarded up.
The vehicle has been towed away from the crash scene.
