Two other people believed to have been in the vehicle at the time of the collision ran away.

Fire & Rescue personnel made the house safe and police seized the vehicle for forensic testing.

The vehicle owner was arrested and was charged with refusing to undergo a screening test and failing to provide a breath sample.
