Car Crashes Into San Leandro Home, Nearly Strikes 2 Children

A car slammed into a home in San Leandro early Thursday, nearly hitting two sleeping children, according to police.

The driver and four people inside the home were not injured in the crash, which occurred around 2 a.m. along the 14900 block of Patton Avenue, police said.

It is not exactly clear what led up to the crash, but the road was slick due to rain and that, combined with either speed or a mechanical issue, could have played a role, according to police. 

Police do not believe alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash.

The structural integrity of the house was determined to be sound, and the family is able to stay in it, according to police.

An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
