The crash was reported shortly before 11 a.m. in the 1700 block of South Walgrove Avenue, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department. Police said the driver was speeding down a residential street and was thrown 30 feet into a house. The Mini Cooper involved in the crash was speeding and possibly hit a curb before being thrown more than two feet through the front yard and into the house. The homeowner was in the backyard at the time of the crash and was not injured. A neighbor described what he saw after the driver was rescued. “The house was tons of smoke. I think they used the crane to move the car to get the driver out. It was crazy.” Humphrey said the car stopped inside a two-story, 738-square-foot house built in 1952. The crash caused structural compromise and a fire, Humphrey said. “Fifty-nine firefighters took 65 minutes to access, contain and fully extinguish the persistent flames inside the heavily damaged structure and rescue an adult female occupant of the vehicle, who was transported to an area hospital by LAFD paramedics in critical condition”. said Humphrey.
