NW Redmond family gets quite a dinnertime scare when a car smashes into their house, living room  

(Update: Adding, video, comments from family, neighbor, police)

Fortunately, they narrowly escaped injury

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ)-- It was a typical Wednesday evening for the McCleary family, relaxing at their home on NW Larch Spur Court in Redmond -- until a car crashed into the corner of their home, just feet away from where they were sitting. The family is thankful no one was hurt.

It was a frightening occurrence when around 6 p.m., they saw the wall come down in front of them and the TV fall down.

The couple was sitting in the living room, watching TV with their two children and mother-in-law, when the car hit the house.

"We saw the front of the living room explode in front of us," Rebecca McCleary said Thursday.

"It was extremely frightening -- more for the children," she said. "We are completely baffled that everyone is okay. Most importantly, we are happy the girls are okay."

The family went outside and saw that a car had crashed into the side of their house. Their fence, TV, living room and PlayStation were all taken out by the crash, but they know it could have been much worse -- and are very thankful it was not.

This isn't the first time their house has been hit. McCleary said the house was struck by a car a few years ago, before they moved in. 

"If we could get a traffic light at the corner of 19th and Maple, that would be fantastic," she said.

I spoke with a neighbor, who shared the same concerns as McCleary.

Elizabeth Hamilton said, "I'm super thankful that nobody was hurt. They could have easily been hurt. So, I don't know if a traffic light would be good. I think it probably would help." 

I asked McCleary what else was damaged besides the fence and wall.

"Those are all monetary things," she said. "The PlayStation and the TV, but that stuff's all replaceable." 

She said they were told the driver reported to have fainted. Redmond Police said it was a 23-year-old driver, with a 19 year-old female passenger. She was taken to Redmond St. Charles by a family member for a medical evaluation. Police said the driver had a medical issue, which led to the accident, and no charges were filed.
