The person driving the car was seriously injured and was rushed to the hospital. 

Home security video shows the vehicle going over the curb near 1st and Monaco, crashing into the home's yard and narrowly missing the home. The car rolled and uprooted a tree in the front yard before finally coming to a stop in a neighboring yard. 

The homeowner told CBS4 that the car was just feet away from their daughter's bedroom.

Copter4 was above the scene while police and a tow company responded to the vehicle in the 200 block of Monaco between E 1st Ave and E 2nd Ave.
