LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. — A car crashed into a home in Lancaster after midnight on Sunday, causing significant structural damage before the driver fled the scene.
According to South Carolina Highway Patrol, a 2021 Volkswagen Sedan was traveling north on Edsen Road and went off the left side of the roadway before crashing into a house, pushing one wall up and another out as it exited into the backyard.
Neighbors who witnessed the crash pleaded for the driver to stop, shouting, ‘Stop, stop, stop, stop.’
The crash occurred shortly after the homeowners had gone to bed, and the impact sent dust and debris flying everywhere.
The damage was extensive, with a solid wood play set among the property destroyed in the crash.
After crashing through the house, the driver reversed the vehicle, taking out a fence and ripping posts clean out of the ground.
That driver, who has been identified as a juvenile, then left the scene but was later stopped in North Carolina by the Waxhaw Police Department.
The homeowners are currently dealing with significant structural damage and are working with their insurance company to address the repairs.
