The incident happened just after 2 a.m. on Nov. 22 near 59th Avenue and McDowell Road.

The driver was taken into custody and hospitalized as a precaution. He has since been released from the hospital and will be booked into jail. The suspect was not identified.

No one inside the home was hurt. The family who lives at the home, along with their friends, were seen gathering around after the incident and comforting each other. They didn't go inside because the house shows signs of not being stable.

Impairment is a factor in the crash, police said. Meanwhile, neighbors say the street is always full of speeding drivers, and is getting more dangerous by the day.
