Car slams into Bradenton home

BRADENTON (FOX 13) - A family is out of a home tonight after a woman slammed her car into their garage. 

Police say the accident happened in the 3300 block of Southern Parkway just after 2 p.m. when they think the driver of the car had a medical episode. 

The driver hit bushes, mailboxes, a car and 2 houses before hitting the garage at about 35 miles per hour. 

Paco Martinez was outside his home a few doors down when he heard the crash. 

"I thought she was dead you know, because we can hear the noise very loud you know," said Martinez.

The driver of the vehicle was taken to the hospital, she had cuts on her forehead in addition to the unspecified medical issue.

Kathy Couch, who lives in the home that was hit, says her daughter and father were inside when the accident happened and didn't have a scratch on them.

Authorities say the home can't be lived in until the garage is fixed, the family is staying elsewhere tonight. 

Couch knows it could have been a lot worse. 

"I'm just glad that everyone is ok. Stuff is stuff. It's replaceable, people aren't."
