DAVIE, FLA. (WSVN) - A Davie family received a rude awakening after a car drove into their home, Sunday morning, and the driver of the car fled the scene.
According to police, the stolen vehicle hit the side of the house and plowed into the living room of the home, located near Griffin Road and South University Drive.
“Well, we were sound asleep at 4:30 this morning when we heard this loud crash,” said the homeowner, Louise Marrero. “We thought someone had broken into our house.”
Authorities said the driver took off running along Southwest 70th Way and 40th Court, leaving the homeowners to pick up the pieces.
“Well, right now, we are trying to decide what our next step is because when you have a gaping hole in the side of your home, it’s a little difficult to decide if you should stay or leave,” said Marrero. “We’re being told to leave for safety reasons.”
The car has since been towed away.
Fortunately, no one was injured.
The crash remains under investigation.
Police are still searching for the driver. If you have any information on their whereabouts, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $3,000 reward.
