Car Drives Over Sleeping Couple In Bed
A Central Florida husband and wife were injured Tuesday when a car crashed through their bedroom wall and drove over them as they slept, according to a Local 6 News report.
Investigators said three men in a stolen car crashed into the bedroom at the Altamonte Ridge Apartments on Northlake Road in Altamonte Springs, Fla. Tuesday morning.
The car crashed through the wall and then traveled on to the couple's bed, trapping them underneath the vehicle as tires spun.
Neighbors said the driver and two others in the car took off running after the crash.
Homeowners then helped the trapped couple.
"When I reached them, I heard, "Help me, Help me,'" neighbor Gloria Brown said. "My husband went in there and got them out of there and put him in a chair. We wrapped him up with blankets and stuff."
The man was transported to Florida Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. His wife was treated on the scene.
The apartment complex is helping the injured couple by putting them in another unit for free, Local 6 News reported.
Altamonte Springs police are searching for the three men.
If you have any information concerning their whereabouts, you are urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.
