63-Year-Old Woman Loses Control of Vehicle, Lands on Home in Valencia Park

In a bizarre crash, an SUV rolled down an embankment backwards and crashed into a Valencia Park home early Monday.

San Diego Fire-Rescue officials rushed to the home on Daisy Avenue that sits below the intersection of Division and S 61st streets.

The SUV was traveling southbound on S 61 Street when it continued through Division and into the home, officials said.

The driver, a 63-year-old woman, was taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

She suffered a broken neck and brain bleed, according to San Diego Police (SDPD).

According to fire officials, she may have suffered a medical emergency while driving.

There are six people living in the home, including children. No one in the house was hurt.

"My mother-in-law was awake. She is already making her breakfast then she just heard the loud bang and then she saw that the car was already inside the house," homeowner Rita Sy told NBC 7.

The SUV had crashed into the sunroom, the family said.

NBC 7 spoke to some neighbors who said they are always worried that something like this would happened because Division Street is just up the hill above their homes.
