HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - Hollywood Fire Rescue responded to an accident where a vehicle struck a house.
The incident, which occurred Friday morning in the 6000 block of Mayo Street, involved a Nissan Altima crashing into the residence, causing damage to a window and the concrete below it.
The home’s ring camera captures the moment the vehicle crashes into the front of the house, a passenger gets out of the vehicle and helps get the driver out.
According to the owners of the home, it was their neighbor that crashed into their home. It assumed that they miscalculated the gas or brakes in their car before they crashed.
“Pressed the gas or I guess learning how to drive something along those lines not sure,” said Carina Arietta, homeowner’s relative.
“Was it a young kid inside [the car],” said 7News’ Vanessa Medina.
“No, older woman,” said Arietta.
The owners of the home told 7News that there is usually family, including one in a wheelchair, sit in the area where the car crashed.
“Their dog, my grandma, and my uncle that’s in a wheelchair, either one of them,” said Arietta. “They were getting ready to step out. A close call.”
Since the home suffered structural damage, a building inspector needs to check the home’s integrity before the family can go back inside.
“They calling for the inspector — looks like it [car] hit the window,” said Ralph Rayburn in SkyForce
The owners are speaking to their insurance company to see what they can do before they go back inside.
“There is damage inside and outside so we have to figure it out,” said Arietta.
Hollywood Police and Fire Rescue were on the scene and reported no injuries.
“What can you say it happens, mistakes happen but now we got to figure it out,” said Arietta. “We’re blessed that nothing happened, materialistic things, it happens but we’re glad everybody is OK.”
The driver and homeowner stated they both have insurance.
The car has since been towed away from the home.
