First responders did administer CPR on the driver, who was taken to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries, officials said.
Amador Correa, who owns the house, told ABC13 he’s thankful he and his family were not hurt. He said they live near an intersection where car crashes often occur.
“We’re so used to crashes (right) here, so we weren’t woken up by the wreck. Our son came and told us there was a car in our kitchen,” Correa said. “It makes you appreciate life. Life is short. You never know what’s going to come at you. I just want my family to be safe.”
