It happened close to midnight in the Montbello neighborhood at 51st and Titan Court. The car plowed down a fence as well as trees and shrubs and left a big hole in a wall of the house.

Denver police officers told CBS4 they were relieved no one was hurt in the home, given the scope of the damage. The driver also wasn't hurt.
