A video captures a car slamming through an Arizona couple’s home as they’re sitting down for dinner with three of their dogs.
The chaotic scene happened on Friday night, August 30, near 39th Avenue and Thomas Road in Phoenix, AZ Family reports.
In the video, Sabrina Rivera was seen closing the curtains while Marcus Holmberg was about to get ready for dinner when the car suddenly crashes inside their home.
Rivera tells AZ Family, “I thought we were all going to die, to be honest.” While Holmberg reveals, “Everything is destroyed. It just happened so fast.”
Rivera also reveals that she saw the Mustang coming right at them while she was closing the curtains.
The couple showed the aftermath of the incident to AZ Family. In the photo, you can see that the damage extended beyond the front of their home.
The couple tells AZ Family that the damage of their home extended beyond the front part.
There were cracks found throughout the living room. And the impact of the crash was so high that the entire back window of their home was knocked out of its frame and ended up in the couple’s backyard.
With the amount of damage and destruction that their home suffered, the couple said they’re lucky to be alive as the car came inches from running them over.
Rivera revealed that she can’t hold anything heavy in her right arm due to the accident. While Holmberg had a small fracture on his head. He said, “They did a CT scan on my head. They did see a fracture, a light one, so it’s just sore. Other than that, we are OK.”
Furthermore, the couple weren’t the only victims in the accident as the video also shows three dogs in the way of the car.
Fortunately, the dogs are also doing well. Rivera reveals, “They’re a little playful now. They’re sore, but they should be OK.”
“This was an act of God. Someone was watching over us,” Holmberg added.
The couple set up a GoFundMe to help them cover the repair of their home while they try to look for a place to stay.
Holmberg reveals, “a reckless driver, an 18-year-old with a 5.0 Mustang, drove through our house because he failed at doing donuts in the street.”
AZ Family further reveals that the 18-year-old, Valentin Espinoza, is charged with a DUI, criminal damage and endangerment.
