The car appeared to have hit an electric pole, then traveled a few hundred feet before smashing through a fence of the home on Hildreth Street. The crash remained under investigation.
The injured driver was screaming before first responders arrived, said Osarehinwen Foster-Efosa, who lives at the home.
"Thank God he didn't die. It was shocking," Foster-Efosa said.
