Pittsburgh Police say they arrived on scene at the 5100 block of Second Avenue in Hazlewood just after 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning.

When they arrived, they say the driver of the vehicle that had crashed into the house was still on the scene.

According to police, the woman told them that her brakes failed so she turned to drive through a field, eventually hitting the house.
