Florida driver crashes into home while trying to flee traffic stop: police

SANFORD, Fla. - A driver crashed into a Sanford home after trying to flee a traffic stop overnight Tuesday, police said. 

The suspect's car collided with the side of the house on East 9th Street in Sanford after losing control of the vehicle, but no one was hurt, officials said. 

"He hit a speed bump, went airborne, fishtailed and then plowed right into the side of our house," homeowner Nathan Clark told FOX 35 News. 

While there was some damage to the home, the homeowner said its structural integrity isn't in jeopardy since the car didn't hit any load bearing columns. Debris was everywhere even though the car didn't make it into the home. 

"It's just one of those things you don't think is going to happen to you," the homeowner said. "It could have been a lot worse." 

The driver then took off on foot after getting out of his car and "stagger" away, but was then taken into custody near the crash site, police said. 

FOX 35 News is working to get more details about the suspect's charges, but at least two of them are related to the crash and attempting to flee.
