MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 A Northwest Miami-Dade homeowner is facing tens of thousands of dollars in damage after a driver crashed into her front yard Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
The crash happened just before 8:20 a.m. in the 12000 block of Northwest 22nd Avenue near Northwest 127th Street.<\/p>\n
The homeowner, who has lived in the area for 14 years, said speeding has long been a problem in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
In an instant, the vehicle tore through the property, destroying part of a wall, damaging the carport and crushing the front end of a newly purchased vehicle parked in the driveway.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first thing I said when I came here was, \u2018Is everyone OK? Where is the guy? Is he alive?\u2019 because it was pretty intense,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She said the driver refused transportation by first responders and was uninsured.<\/p>\n
Most of the damage was concentrated in the yard, though a second vehicle parked along the street was also struck during the crash.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt already took me forever to kind of fix my house. Now it\u2019s going to take me even longer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The homeowner said speeding is a consistent issue in the area and hopes something positive comes from the destruction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the city can do something about this, about the speeding. I know I\u2019m not the only neighbor affected,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Despite the damage, she said she is grateful no one was hurt.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank God I wasn\u2019t here and I was running late to pick up my kids to start our little summer vacation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The homeowner estimates the crash caused more than $50,000 in damage.<\/p>\n
Authorities have not said whether the driver will face any charges.<\/p>\n
