A SMALL girl has avoided injury after a car crashed into the side of a Sydney home early this morning, smashing halfway through her bedroom wall.

The girl, believed to be aged about four, was in bed on the opposite side of the room when the Holden Commodore ran off Lydham Ave in Rockdale about 4.15am.

No one was injured but the driver fled the scene after the crash. He was tracked by police dogs and officers from the St George Local Area Command but he wasn’t found.

The car went through a garden and then smashed into the brick wall of the house. The mangled wreck could be seen embedded in the wall, with clothes from inside the home visible though he hole the car created.

The girl’s parents told Sunrise this morning of her lucky escape. She had been on the opposite side of the room when the car struck the house and saw “bricks flying from the wardrobe”.

The driver appeared dazed after the crash but ran away when a neighbour asked for his licence.

The vehicle has been towed from the premises and Fire and Rescue NSW officers have conducted an initial check of the damage.

The damage is not believed to have compromised the structural integrity of the building.

Anyone with information should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
