It was the middle of the night when a speeding car crash resulted in a vehicle smashing its way through the bedroom of two sleeping little girls.
When 22-year-old Andres Espinoza-Chaves was driving though Salem, Oregon, he picked up so much speed while driving drunk that he crashed into a parked vehicle.
Drunk driving is no joke, just hear John Seaman's tragic story of how his little girl was murdered by a drunk driver and you'll second guess your decision to drive under the influence.
The car was impacted so hard that it flew into the nearby house and crashed through the wall into 5-year-old Paloma and 4-year-old Danica's bedroom.
"My daughter's car was shoved into their house so hard that it moved [one of] the little girl's beds about 4 or 5 feet away from where it was – with the girl in the bed," said Amanda Davis, the mother of the parked car's owner.
“I praise the Lord that nothing serious happened to the little girls. You can replace a car, you can fix a house, but you cannot replace your child,” she added.
Fortunately, everyone was OK. See photos from the scene and SHARE to spread awareness about the serious of issue of drunk driving.
22-Year-Old Andres Espinoza-Chavez crashed into a parked car while speeding and driving drunk.
The crash catapulted the second vehicle right into the wall of a nearby home.
The car smashed into 4-year-old Danica and 5-year-old Paloma's bedroom in the middle of the night.
Firefighters arrived on the scene. The drivers were not injured.
And the little girls? They were within an inch of their life. "Firefighter's are thankful to report that the children are uninjured and are doing well this morning. Only a few inches in either direction, and this story may have had a very different outcome," the Marion Fire Department wrote on Facbeook.
Although everyone was OK, let this be a lesson: drunk driving is serious and, short of a miracle, people can die.
