Car slams into home in Sloatsburg
It was a rude awaking for residents living along Route 117 and Post Road in Sloatsburg when a car slammed into a house this morning.
Police say it was around 6 a.m. when a driver lost control and crashed his Acura into a home at Post Road and Route 17.  "The whole house shook, and we thought it was like an earthquake or something," says neighbor Brian Munoz.
Amazingly, the driver was not injured, and no one was in the house at the time of the accident.  The house had damage to its entryway and a wall. 
Police say speed was a factor and that the driver was either distracted or may have fallen asleep.      
Neighbors say it's a dangerous road with similar accidents happening right along the stretch in the past.
No arrests or charges have been filed as of yet.
