MIRAMAR, Fla. – A family was forced to find a new place to sleep Monday night after a car crashed right into their home.

It happened near Southwest 21st Street and 66th Avenue in Miramar.

The family told Local 10 News they were going to sleep outside the home in their vehicle because they don’t want to leave their belongings inside unattended.

In security video taken outside the house, a silver sedan can be seen driving down the road toward the home. The driver appears to lose control and the car slams right into the structure.

According to Miramar police, the driver claimed that he was driving a couple blocks away when he had to slow down because there was a garbage truck stopped in the street allowing other vehicles to pass by.

He said someone then came out of a nearby house and pulled out a gun, which led him to drive off and crash into another house.

One of the residents told Local 10 News she lives at the home with her three children, one of whom is disabled.

“It was just a crash, like a boom,” said Shantaria Miller. “I just ran out of the house. I told my daughter we had to get out of the house and call 911.”

She said the car crashed into her oldest son’s room but thankfully he was not in the room at the time.

Police said two people were inside the car that crashed into the home, but no serious injuries were reported.

Authorities say they are reviewing surveillance video from the area to determine what led to the crash.

The house has been deemed uninhabitable.
