Deputies and medics were dispatched at 2:54 a.m. on initial reports of a vehicle into a house, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

Upon arrival, deputies found that a white Kia Forte was traveling westbound on W. Hillcrest Avenue and lost control after coming over a hill.

It went through the yard on the north side of the road and drove into the house’s front door.

The car landed on a man lying on the couch inside the house.
