Car crashes into California house, moves bed with man in it

The driver reportedly fled out a window of the home before officers arrived and has not been located.

A two-car collision sent a car crashing into the bedroom of a house on Friday night. The driver then climbed out of the car, crossed over the bed and left through a window, a resident said.

Huntington Beach police responded to reports of a crash near Florida Street and Altamar Drive just past 10 p.m., Lt. Brian Smith said.

Theodore Sharshan told a videographer at the scene that his brother had just gone into the bedroom at the front of their house when the crash happened. He rushed into his brother’s bedroom and saw the car alongside the bed.

“The car hit the bed and moved the bed over,” Theodore Sharshan said. “Luckily he (his brother) was in the bed, so it didn’t hit him.”

Then, he said, the driver got out of the car, stepped over the bed and disappeared through a window.

Someone was seen running from the scene as officers approached and may have been the driver of the car that struck the home, but officers had yet to confirm that, Smith said Saturday. The driver has not been found.

The person driving the other car was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Smith said.

What caused the crash was not immediately known.
