SUNRISE, Fla. \u2014 A speeding driver crashed a Mercedes-Benz into a Sunrise home early Friday, leaving part of the house destroyed and narrowly missing a woman who was inside her bedroom, neighbors said.<\/p>\n
The crash happened in the 6200 block of Northwest 12th Street.<\/p>\n
The impact tore through multiple rooms of the home, leaving debris scattered throughout a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Car parts from the Mercedes were mixed among personal belongings inside the damaged residence.<\/p>\n
Neighbor Alexis Almonte, who lives next door, said the collision sounded like an explosion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt sounded like a bomb,\u201d Almonte told Local 10 News.<\/p>\n
The homeowner and Almonte said speeding has long been a problem along nearby Northwest 63rd Avenue.<\/p>\n
Almonte said he rushed outside after hearing the crash and found the homeowner injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see the car over there. I see the lady on the floor,\u201d he said. \u201cShe got cut. She\u2019s lucky to be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
A temporary support beam has since been installed inside the home to help keep the damaged structure standing.<\/p>\n
According to neighbors, this is not the first vehicle to crash into the home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the third time someone hit the house,\u201d Almonte said, adding that residents have previously asked the City of Sunrise to install a speed bump or other traffic-calming measures.<\/p>\n
While Local 10 was at the scene Friday morning, several vehicles were seen speeding through the area.<\/p>\n
Almonte urged drivers to slow down and remember families live in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s people living over here \u2014 children,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to take care of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Investigators have not said what caused the crash or whether the driver will face any charges.<\/p>\n
There were no visible skid marks on the roadway, suggesting the driver may not have braked before impact.<\/p>\n
The extent of the homeowner\u2019s injuries has not been released.<\/p>\n
