MIAMI (CBSMiami) ? Two people were taken to the hospital after an SUV crashed through a palm tree, two fences and a wall in a townhome in West Miami-Dade.
It happened Tuesday evening in the 300 block of NW 84th Court. 47-year-old Carlos Pacheco was watching television in the living room when a silver Isuzu Rodeo crashed through a wall and shattered the back sliding glass door, leaving him covered in glass.
His wife, Lily Braule, was across the room when the SUV barreled through.
She told CBS4?s Natalia Zea that she is grateful they are both still alive. She said she rushed to help her husband who was bloody and in shock. Her mother in law and 13-year-old son were also in the home but weren?t hurt.
Neighbors heard a loud bang and came running.
?A couple of minutes earlier, three minutes earlier, he was sitting outside smoking and he had just walked in. So it was him, his mom and the neighbor. So three minutes earlier, they would have killed all of them,? said Maria Mendez.
Pacheco was taken to Kendall Regional Hospital.
?He had a lot of bruising around his face and scabs and blood running all over. But the main thing is he has glass all over his body, imbedded in his body and it is very painful,? said Mendez.
The driver of the SUV, who police now identify as 38 year old Anibal Ortiz, was also taken to the hospital where blood was drawn. Miami-Dade police are waiting on test results of it to see if criminal charges should be filed. He was cited for careless driving.
Managers of the community?s homeowner?s association said it will pay to replace the damaged fences. Braule and Pacheco will have to repair their townhome and replace their things that were crushed.
Braule told Zea this isn?t the first time a vehicle has crashed into the back area of the complex. She said she?d like to see a wall around the community.
