During the crash, the car hit a house shed on Toledo Street.
Abe Villanueva lives at the home and said he and his family are okay. He said he heard what sounded like a loud boom early Saturday morning.
“I was in the house and I just heard like an explosion,” said Villanueva. “A car crashed right into the shed and destroyed the whole shed.”
Villanueva told News 6 he’s crediting his shed that was destroyed for possible saving his daughter’s life. He said she was outside when the crash happened.
