Firefighters reported that the city's Building Department will assess the home's structure to determine if it is safe. Another resident, who was not at home, revealed that the driver also hit her husband's car that was parked outside. The Hialeah Police did not disclose the driver's identity but mentioned he is 35 years old. He also escaped the crash uninjured. The cause of the incident was that he lost control of the vehicle.
