Video captures moment car crashes into Des Moines home
It was 7:10 p.m. Sunday — a day and time Mallory Clancy will not forget.
She was about a block away in the drive-thru with her daughter getting ice cream when she heard a terrible sound.
"It sounded like a trailer full of logs flipped over," Clancy said.
She turned around in time to watch one car crash into her house and another come to rest on its side in her front yard.
Her husband and son were home at the time.
She quickly learned her husband was in the back room with the baby and both were OK.
She said she feels fortunate their damage was done to things, not people.
"Our front fence is gone. We looked inside, there's not too much damage," Clancy said.
The accident happened when a Toyota driven by a teen was heading south on 54th, going through the stop sign.
The Toyota hit a Hyundai going east on Douglas.
The driver and passenger of that car were taken to the hospital. Both are listed in critical condition.
