Pictured: Car crashes into second floor of house

A car has crashed into the second storey of a house in Pennsylvania, stunning neighbours and leaving a gaping hole in the home.

Photographs from the scene showed how the grey Toyota Corolla had smashed into the house and become stuck there with its rear wheels hanging out of an upstairs room.

Firefighters attending the incident in Decatur Township, central Pennsylvania, said a rescue team stabilised the house while the driver was transferred to Geisinger Lewistown Hospital for treatment.

Photos posted to social media showed the severe damage the car left behind, with most of the upper front corner of the house obliterated.

Miraculously, no one else was injured in the crash.

Rescue crews helped cover up the damaged walls and roof of the house ahead of a looming storm, the fire company said.

The Junction Fire Company said the fire chief arrived at the home within minutes of the crash on Sunday afternoon.

It was not immediately clear how the bizarre incident occurred.
