The driver of the vehicle has been charged with dangerous driving, failure to stop and flight from police while two passengers were questioned by police and released.

The occupants of the home told CP24 Reporter Katie Simpson that they were abruptly woken up when they heard an incredibly loud crash. They ran downstairs to find part of the car lodged inside their home.
The couple is insured.
The house is considered a landmark in the neighbourhood. It was once a farmhouse and has been preserved through the years.
