The occupants of a home next to a notorious intersection are lucky to be alive after an out-of-control car smashed into their bathroom while they lay fast asleep.
The car ploughed into the Seven Hills home in Sydney’s west at 11.45pm on Friday.
The blue hatchback crashed near the intersection of Quinn Avenue and Lucas Road with three people, believed to be men, fleeing the scene.
Officers, assisted by the dog squad, were unable to trace their movements.
Two of the men are now cooperating with police as they investigate the crash.
One of the residents said she thought the house was being burgled.
‘I just don’t know what went on, it just suddenly happened, it was really scary,’ Excellcia Starr told 7News.
‘It was loud, I didn’t know what was going on. They hit the house and ran and that’s the most disgusting part about it.’

It comes after an out-of-control car swerved off the road and ploughed into another house in western Sydney.
A 29-year-old man lost control of his white hatchback and slammed through the front of the home on Whitford Road in Hinchinbrook last month.
The man and his passenger, a 29-year-old woman, were uninjured in the crash and the home’s occupants were also miraculously left unscathed.
That crash was caught on neighbourhood CCTV.
Screeching tires were heard in the video, which showed the white hatchback being followed closely by a white ute.
The hatchback swerved off the road and smashed into the one-storey brick house.
The hatchback left a huge hole in the brick facade of the home.
