HARRISBURG, Pa., March 7 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania teenager with a learner's permit tried to park his car in his driveway but smashed the front of a neighbor's home instead.

Only a week ago, Jeff and Steph Kline had finished repairs to their Hampden Township residence after it was damaged in a fire. The Patriot-News, a Harrisburg, Pa., newspaper, said Steph Kline and her 2-year-old were at home Tuesday evening when the teenager apparently mistook the gas pedal for the brake.

A passenger, Jennifer Lin, 35, was in the car with the 16-year-old.

The car crashed into the front of the home, collapsing bricks, before ending up in the living room.

No one was injured in the incident, The Patriot-News said.
