high rate of speed. they said 80 miles an hour. the car got off the freeway and went about 60 miles an hour through residential streets. that blew through a couple of stop signs and made a turn. didn't quite make the turn. that is how they ended up in the house. there was one man behind the wheel. we talked to the man in the passenger seat. here's what he said happened. >> i can say i never went around the turn. and i out of nowhere the turn kind of you know the tires started slipping and went too fast and next thing you know we're going across the curve and hitting the fence. next thing you know it's a blur. >> reporter: now there were people inside this home when this all happened. i talked to the man that lives at the house. he says he was asleep. his family was asleep but no one was in that corner bedroom.
