Caught on video: A Mustang flies down a Grand Terrace street and slams into home
The driver of a Mustang walked away with two citations after careening down a Grand Terrace residential street and crashing into a home Thursday night. Amazingly, no one was hurt, but the house has been red-tagged due to extensive damage.
Video shows the car racing down the street, catching air, going over two bumps and then flying into the home.
Around 7 p.m., multiple 911 calls were made for the loud crashing noise heard by neighbors on Pico Street at Darwin Avenue. They say speeding is a problem on the street.
San Bernardino County Sheriff's and fire officials responded to find the 18-year-old driver out of his car without injuries. Authorities said the driver was cited for running a stop sign and for driving without a license.
Investigators said the driver was not under the influence.
No one in the home was injured either. Neighbor Tonya Gonzalez saw the whole thing from her window. She said that the driver was claimed he was trying to avoid hitting another car, but she says there was no other car in sight.
Gonzalez said the residents in the home struck were fortunate not to be injured in any way. "He heard the bang," said Gonzalez. "He got up from his chair and just got out of the way just in time."
The family has been forced out of the home, as it has extensive damage and is red-tagged. Neighbors say they would like to see more lighting on the street, and more safety measures in place to curb speeding.
