WILKES-BARRE - A car crashed into a house Sunday afternoon in Wilkes-Barre. The crash happened just before 2:00 in the 200 block of Academy Street.

Witnesses say a woman lost a hub cap, which caused her to lose control of her car and slam into a house.

Neighbors say the noise was so loud, they knew the crash hit close to home.

Amy Swartley said, "All I heard was a huge boom in my windows and my walls shook. I thought somebody hit my building. I thought somebody was going into our building and I came flying out and I just saw it and I came flying over."

Owners of the house say they haven't had a chance to assess all of the damage yet.

The driver's name has not been released yet. Her injuries are not considered to be life threatening.
