Authorities said they were able to catch the 14-year-old driver after the crash on Singer Way in DeKalb County.
The woman who lives next door to the crash scene told Channel 2 Action News reporter Darryn Moore that the teens drove through her driveway and barely missed her house. But they didnt miss her neighbors house, and the teens crashed through the side of it.
It sounded like a big explosion. It was a solid boom, said the neighbor, who did not want to be identified.
Half of the car went through the laundry room of the home just after 1 a.m.
