Authorities said a car crashed into a home in the 4400 block of 14th Avenue South in St. Petersburg early Monday morning, leaving heavy property damage but no reported injuries to the people inside.
The crash happened shortly before 3 a.m. on June 8 in the Childs Park neighborhood. Investigators said a Honda Accord went off the roadway and entered the home. A fire was also reported after the impact, and fire crews extinguished the flames.
Sandra Henderson, the homeowner identified in local reports, said she and her husband were inside at the time. Authorities said both people got out safely without injury. Henderson said the couple escaped through the back of the home after the crash and fire began.
