The OPP says they are “absolutely amazed” the driver of a sedan walked away after crashing into a Norfolk County home early Tuesday morning.

The incident happened just off of Highway 24 between Vittoria Road and United Church Road when a 24-year-old driver hit a residence just before 6 a.m.

“The driver lost control, hit a guide wire, and rolled the vehicle through the front of an unoccupied residence,” acting Sgt. Ed Sanchuk said in a release.

“The vehicle came to rest at the front of the property.”

Sanchuk said a good samaritan alerted police of the collision after a seeing the damaged vehicle and home while driving by.
