"I heard a big bang, the house shook," said Christina, a neighbor.
Neighbors say the collision echoed downed the street and several people quickly rushed to help.

The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital with head and shoulder injuries, according to the victim's uncle.
"Nephew was in bed, the car went inside, the bed is moving at least three feet out. It almost killed him," he said.
The 47-year-old driver of the SUV and a little girl who was a passenger only suffered minor injuries and were treated and released on scene.
Police say the driver is not facing charges, but a significant amount of damage remains.
A large portion of the basement and garage of the home are now boarded up and members of the New York Buildings Department were on the scene for several hours.
