RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. — A car careened off the road and crashed into the roof of a Rancho Palos Verdes home on Sunday evening, resulting in one person being taken to a nearby hospital.
The collision occurred around 5:50 p.m. at 28036 Santona Drive, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department .
“It sounded like the whole house exploded,” homeowner Joann Killeen told KTLA.
The driver was an older person who lost control of their vehicle on a nearby embankment and had minor injuries, said watch commander Lt. Rony Del Pinto of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
A photo from NBC Los Angeles showed the car embedded in the roof of the home. Images shared by Killeen with KTLA showed that an interior room was badly damaged, and a gaping hole was left in the ceiling.
Del Pinto said no one else in the home was injured and no arrest was made, calling it a “complete accident.”
