The crash occurred near Tyler Street and North 15th Avenue shortly before 5 a.m., witnesses at the scene told Local 10’s Jolena Esperto.

A car overturned and came to rest on its roof in the front yard of a home after colliding with another car. The impact sent the vehicle through a fence and into the front of the house, damaging the living room area.

The home’s residents were asleep when the crash occurred.

“Me and my mom were sleeping and then we heard a super loud bang,” a woman who lives at the home told Esperto. “I immediately knew that perhaps something had hit the house.”

The woman said she and her mother went outside and discovered the overturned car against the home.

“They hit the living room,” she said. “Thank God it wasn’t the bedroom because I was on the other side.”

The resident said the crash occurred close to her mother’s bedroom, where the headboard was positioned against the wall nearest the impact.

Despite the damage, no one inside the home was hurt. The drivers involved in the crash also appeared to have escaped serious injury.

The damaged car was later removed from the scene by a tow truck. A second vehicle involved in the collision, a white Audi, was also towed away.

The resident said she recently moved into the home and that speeding has been a concern in the neighborhood. She said Hollywood police told her the vehicles may have been traveling at speeds of 80 mph or higher before the crash.

Authorities have not released details about what led to the collision. The crash remains under investigation.
