According to people who live nearby, the person was not very responsive.
“If someone had the intention of braking you’re going to see the tire marks. We didn't see any tire marks, I mean this person just went head on! The fence didn’t even stop them," neighbor Lina Gonzalez said.
The homeowner didn't want to speak on camera but said everyone at the home is ok, they are just dealing with insurance right now.
Construction crews were at the home to assess the damage.
