A man and a child narrowly escaped when a car crashed through the front of their home in Quebec on Tuesday evening.

At around 6:30 p.m., the emergency services were alerted because a car was completely submerged in a building on Rue Poncelet in the Beauport district. Fortunately, no one was hit by the vehicle.

According to the police, an incorrect maneuver was the cause of the accident. The driver, about 40 years old, and a passenger on board were not injured. Alcohol or drugs were not involved and the criminal theory was ruled out. Inexperience could be partly responsible for the violent collision.

Inside the damaged apartment, an adult and a child likely feared for their lives, but the duo suffered no injuries other than shock.

However, some people have been temporarily relocated as the intervention of a structural engineer will be required to assess the condition of the building.
