Police have launched an investigation after a car crashed into the roof of a home in Port Macquarie overnight.
Emergency services were called to Hindman Street around 9:30 PM on Tuesday (25 February) following reports that a vehicle had gone airborne, striking the house after crashing through a safety barrier and boundary fence.
The driver, a 38-year-old man and sole occupant, was trapped inside the car for approximately 25 minutes before being freed by NSW Ambulance paramedics, Fire and Rescue NSW, and State Emergency Services personnel.
Authorities allege the driver refused a roadside breath test. He was arrested and taken to Port Macquarie Hospital for a blood test before being released pending further inquiries.
A 62-year-old man was inside the home at the time of the crash, which caused extensive structural damage. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
