Northwest Miami-Dade, FL : Car Slams into NW Miami-Dade Home on Monday morning, December 22, 2014

A South Florida family woke up to a car smashing into their Northwest Miami-Dade home, early Monday morning. According to officials, the car crashed through a fence and slammed into a house located at Northwest 105th Street and 11th Avenue, sometime before 1:30 a.m. A passenger in the car told 7News that his friend was the one driving and was unable to make a turn causing him to crash. The driver fled the scene, so police have not been able to make an arrest. There was a total of three people in the house at the time of the incident. The family said the vehicle actually crashed into a bedroom where two women were asleep. Deborah Beauvil and her sister Avigail said they received a very rude awakening. "All I know is it hit the wall, and I got up and tried to get out," she said," but the door was jammed." The sisters were trapped under debris from the drywall and pieces of the car. "I was stuck, and I got up and ran outside," said Avigail. "The side that's really messed up, that's where I sleep. My head is right there where it's all crushed and everything." Besides one sister having some pain on her side, both walked away from the incident safe and unharmed. "It's a blessing from God," said Deborah, "because if you look in there, it's crazy. We could have been trapped. We could have died." Because of the strong chance it could collapse, the structural engineer for the city deemed the home unsafe and it may have to be torn down. "It went pretty far into the bedroom," said a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Pedro Rodriguez, "and what makes matters worse is that it's a wooden frame structure, and as mentioned earlier, with the termite damage most of the wood is not real sound, so it's gonna be a difficult maneuver to actually support it." The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Source : South Florida family wakes up to car crashing into home
