It was Janice Downey's house that was damaged in the crash, which she said sounded like an explosion.
"When I first heard the noise and went out, my cat's running back in, and I'm like, 'Something scared her, and she's deaf,'" she said. "I knew something was very wrong, and then I saw just the gaping wall."
Downey said the car drove down her driveway, through her house and into her neighbor's yard.
The neighbor is Rich Anzalone, who said his double stone wall stopped the car from slamming into his house as well.
"To hit that and careen down, and to take everything out with such force, he had to be going pretty fast," he said.
