A rude awakening for a New Hamburg family after a car was sent flying through the front of their home late last night.
Police say they started following a vehicle towards Waterloo Street after they received a complaint from a concerned motorist.
It’s a good thing that police were close by — as the driver eventually lost control of his vehicle, slammed into a fire hydrant, flipped upside down onto a car, and came to rest in the front-end of someone’s home.
Total damage is pegged around $40,000, and the 26-year-old driver was treated for minor injures.
Police say the Kitchener man faces numerous charges including impaired driving.
