The preliminary investigation indicated that an 8-year-old boy was driving at the time, according to Lewis. Authorities were still trying to determine how the boy was able to get behind the wheel and drive the car.

One person was transported following the crash, Lewis said and the extent of her injuries, as well as her condition, was not immediately known.

Investigators also did not say whether the boy sustained any injuries.

A resident of the damaged home, who identified himself as Leo, said the car crashed into his bedroom and landed on top of his bed. He was in another room at the time.

"Luckily it's not night time," he said.
