BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A car backed into the front porch of a home Brockton while a family was inside sleeping Thursday morning, video obtained by 7NEWS shows.
Police said the driver was backing out of a driveway when she lost control of the car, slamming into the home on Plain Street.
The Delima family was inside sleeping at the time of the crash.
“I was very afraid because when I listen to the sound, I was very afraid and thought, ‘Oh my god someone hit up the house,'” said Deborah Delima, the homeowner.
Deborah said she and her son Kevin Delima rushed outside to make sure everyone was okay.
“I yelled and asked if they were okay, and they didn’t respond, they were, like, dizzy,” Kevin said.
Kevin said he has never seen anything like this.
“We opened the door and everything is just destroyed,” he said. “I just thought it was confusing how someone can come from all the way down there, and reverse all the way into the house. It’s just crazy, broke through our entire front porch.”
The driver was taken to the hospital and later received a citation.
