Two speeding cars crashed into a home, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake, according to Florida police.

Officers responded to a “multiple vehicle” crash in Orlando at around 1 p.m. on Feb. 15, according to a statement from the Orlando Police Department on Twitter.

A photo tweeted by the department shows a partially overturned car near the side of the road and two cars in the front lawn of a home.

One of the cars appears severely damaged and has a fallen tree lying across its roof. Large segments of the home’s front wall appear to be broken and torn down. Pieces of debris, including shattered glass and a tire, are strewn throughout the front yard and road.

Speeding was a factor in the crash, and the cars may have been street racing, police told McClatchy News. No one was injured.

Officers issued traffic citations, but no arrests were made.

A woman was at home and in the shower at the time of the crash, WFTV reported.

“I found me some clothes and climbed out the window,” Neshay Singleton told the station.

She told the outlet that her car and her house were gone.

Orlando police said the investigation is ongoing.
