PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A car was pushed into a Portland home late Sunday night after a driver careened off the road, authorities said.

Just after 11:30 p.m., Portland Fire & Rescue said they responded to a Southeast Portland home where a vehicle had gone into the kitchen,

Fire officials said that it happened after a pickup truck, traveling at high speeds, veered off the road, became airborne, and crashed into a car parked in the driveway, pushing it into the home.

The car hit the kitchen and then came to a rest beneath the first floor, hanging into the basement, officials said.

The driver of the truck got out of the truck safely and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

According to Portland police, impairment was a factor in the crash.

The occupants of the home are displaced due to the crash until repairs can be made, officials said.
