The driver - whose name has not been released at this point - was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of marijuana.
Witnesses still cannot believe what they saw and heard.
"It was a loud bang and my windows shook and everything shook inside my room so I was like, was that an earthquake or what was that?" Araceli Figueroa said.
Most of the damage was confined to the garage area that had been turned into a living room.
Officials say the driver was injured in the crash.
