The Los Angeles Fire Department said they rescued a "critically injured person" and that it took the department 59 firefighters and 65 minutes to put out the blaze. The LAFD said the car went at least 30 ft. into the residence, missing the woman who was home at the time.
A neighbor told NBC Los Angeles there was tons of smoke coming from the home.
"I think they used the crane to move the car to extract the driver. It was crazy," the neighbor said.
