The car hit two light poles and an evergreen tree before smashing into the roof of the house at about 3 a.m. The Winnipeg Free Press reported the car rolled and then flew through the air.

The driver, a 23-yer-old man, and a 17-year-old female passenger were transported to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

A 19-year-old woman who was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but her condition was later upgraded to stable. She was found lying in a flower bed by the home's owner who identified himself to the paper as "Ken."

The small Cadillac CTS was badly damaged. It tore stucco, molding and gutters from the house.
