Shocking CCTV footage has shown the dramatic moment a speeding car crashed through the wall of a family's home in California.

In the video, a Toyota Camry soars from the pavement into the side of a house, and two men can be seen running away from the crash moments later.

The incident destroyed the side of the house in Rowland Heights at 4.40am on Saturday, NBC News reported.

The family members were all asleep in the house at the time of the crash but no-one was injured during the crash, the report said.

“They may or may not have been injured,” CHP officer Marcos Iniguez told NBC News on Monday, attributing their flight from the scene to a likely adrenaline rush.

Several images of the destruction caused by the accident were posted on what appeared to be The California Highway Patrol's (CHP) Instagram page in an attempt to warn drivers.

“In response to the recent question asking the CHP why we are enforcing speed laws amidst the challenges of Covid-19,” the account wrote.

The owner of the Toyota reported the car stolen later on Saturday, according to officials, NBC News reported.

Anyone with information about the two suspects is asked to contact the CHP at 562-868-0503.
