An Ottawa family is cleaning up after a vehicle smashed through its fence and into the backyard, sending debris through their kitchen window.
John Assad was at home with his family Wednesday just after 6:30 a.m. when his children heard a bang in the backyard. They looked outside to see a red sedan had crashed onto the Castlethorpe Crescent property.
"I was up inside the house and I heard a big crash, explosion-like sound and I thought maybe there had been something wrong with the gas line," said Philip Assad, John's son.
John Assad said he was lucky to awaken later than usual before the young driver crashed. The incident sent debris into the kitchen where Assad drinks his morning coffee, but he had not made it there yet.
"I peeked my head into the kitchen and I saw all our windows blown out … when I peeked outside I saw a mangled Pontiac Vibe sitting in our backyard on our back deck," Philip Assad said.

The Assads said a 16-year-old driver had said he was trying to avoid a cat when coming off of Hemmingwood Way onto Centrepointe Drive. Then he lost control and went through the fence.
Firefighters and Enbridge Gas also investigated a smell of gas caused by the crash.
This is the second home along that block to fall victim to a driver that lost control along Centrepointe near Baseline Road, the Assads said.
Ottawa police are investigating but they said the driver will not be charged. Weather and road conditions also contributed to the crash, police say.
