Car flies into home's roof
TWO men have been rescued after their car hit a mound and became lodged in the roof of a Sydney home where a couple and baby were sleeping inside.
The Holden Commodore became airborne after striking a concrete median strip while travelling north along Sunnyholt Road in Parklea at about 2am (AEDT) today, police believe.
"The car continued on and knocked over a set of traffic control lights and a light pole before hitting a dirt mound. The vehicle then became airborne and landed on the roof of a home in Guemsey Way," police said.
Two men - aged 24 and 21 - were trapped in the vehicle for a short time before being rescued by emergency workers.
"Both men were taken to Westmead Hospital in a stable condition."
Two adults and a three-month-old baby were asleep in the home at the time but were not injured.
"The vehicle was extracted from the roof using a crane and seized for forensic examination," police said.
Anyone with information about the incident or who saw the Holden travelling on Sunnyholt Road about 2am is urged to contact Quakers Hill Police on 9678 8999 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
