A car slammed into a Miami-Dade home early Saturday, trapping a woman inside.
The woman, Philoneme Celestin, 63, was taken to the hospital after being freed from the debris by firefighters.
“When I come back here, I said, ‘Oh, my God my sister,’ and she was still crying, crying, crying,” said Elianne Benoit, the victim’s sister.
Benoit was sleeping in another room of the house, along with her adult daughter, when the car came off the road and into the house.
"She was stuck in there, inside the closet, with all the debris things inside," she said. "Thank God she's alive."
The crash happened just after 3 a.m. near the corner of Northeast 8th Avenue and 160th Terrace in North Miami Beach.
A loud crash was heard around the area and a white Infiniti sedan could be seen lodged into the home.
