HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) - A home in Hialeah is now unsafe to live in after a driver lost control of his Jeep and crashed into the home.
Hialeah Fire Rescue units arrived at the home in the area of East Ninth Avenue, Thursday afternoon.
Speaking to 7News after the crash, Ernesto Moya said his brother, his wife and a baby live in the home.
“I was really scared. I was off today, and my brother called me right away,” said Moya. “He was in shock and shaking because, you know, it was a big shock for him.”
According to Hialeah Police, a 35-year-old man was behind the wheel of the Jeep and somehow lost control and smashed into a white sedan before driving through the home. He was not injured.
Police said two elderly people were inside the home as well but escaped with no injuries.
Neighbors say reckless driving in the area is a constant problem.
“Speeding here in nonstop down the street,” said one neighbor. “People taking shortcuts from LeJeune, they don’t stop at the stop signs. They turn. [And when] you call the police? Nothing happens.”
The building department has deemed the home unsafe until they assess its structural integrity.
Tow trucks have since removed the vehicle from the home.
It is unclear whether or not the driver will face any charges.
