Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office Fire Rescue responded to the home at 2905 Northwest 13th Street, Thursday afternoon. <\/p>\n
7Skyforce hovered over the home, showing the SUV crashed into the side of the home. Debris was scattered all around the yard. <\/p>\n

The American Red Cross has also been notified to provide assistance to the affected residents.<\/p>\n
Homeowner Goldie Pitts told 7News she wasn\u2019t at home at the time of the crash, but described the moments she arrived to find the car parked inside her den.<\/p>\n
\u201cI come home and I saw the car in my house and I just hopped out of the car and started running and asking what had happened,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
She said her niece and other family members were home and she was unsure if they had been hurt. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy niece was here. I didn\u2019t know if she had gotten hurt or what had happened,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
She said she\u2019s heartbroken watching her home destroyed. She\u2019s lived in this home since 1982. <\/p>\n
But she\u2019s thankful her family wasn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n
\u201cA miracle, a miracle,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Witnesses say they heard a loud boom that prompted them to run out of their house to see what had occurred. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt sounded like thunder,\u201d said Al. <\/p>\n
Another witness said he saw the female driver start her car and then lost control of her vehicle, causing her to crash into the home. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe came out easy, normal but when she got straight, for some odd reason, she hit the gas all the way and was swerving. Lost control and got straight into there,\u201d said a man. <\/p>\n
On Thursday afternoon, the car was towed away. <\/p>\n
The home has been deemed unsafe to live in, so the family is finding a place to spend the night. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear what led to the crash. <\/p>\n
