A dozen people were hurt after a transport van crashed into a Northwest Miami-Dade home early Friday morning.

According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, the driver of the van lost control and struck several parked cars before veering into the home at 440 NW 119 Street and hitting the garage door.

Neighbors said they heard a loud screech and then boom. 

"I heard an incredible noise. I woke up and I looked out the window and I saw people coming out of the van. I would say 20 people came out of the van. They were coming out through the window screaming and crying," Marcelo Maldonado said. 

Pequero said 12 people from the van were taken to the hospital and 3 were in critical condition. He added that no one in the house was injured.

Frank Dorlean, who lives next to the home where the accident happened, said his blue Tacoma pickup truck was demolished by the van.

"I heard a bang and I thought maybe someone hit my car. I just came out," he said.

Dorlean said he was grateful that no one died.  

"I don't care about this. I don't care," he said. "It was just a car." 

Pequero said it's unclear where the transport van was headed and that detectives, so far, have not been able to interview the driver of the van.

"It is unknown how he lost control. We want to assure people out there, please pay attention to the road, especially in the early morning with all the traffic in Miami-Dade County. Just pay attention. Be alert. No texting and driving. No FaceTiming," Miami-Dade detective Joseph Pequero said. 

Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office detective Luis Sierra tells CBS News Miami that deputies spoke with the driver of the van on the scene after the accident and he told them he lost control of the vehicle and was not sure how this could have happened. 

Sierra says it was not known if the driver had been or will be cited.
