A person sleeping in a rear bedroom of a home in Riverside Saturday escaped with minor injuries when a vehicle plowed through the residence and pinned him against a wall.
The vehicle left 14th Street, went through a utility pole and two front yards before making its way into the rear bedroom of a home in the 4300 block of Langston Place, the Riverside County Fire Department reported.
Firefighters were dispatched to the location at 1:07 a.m. and used the Jaws of Life to extricate the trapped person, who was taken to a hospital.
The two people inside the vehicle were already out of the car prior to fire department arrival and were released to the Riverside Police Department.
The house was determined to be uninhabitable and the four displaced adults from the home refused Red Cross services, seeking shelter with relatives.
