A car flew into a Springfield couple’s garage waking them up and killing several of their animals.

The homeowners said that they are now nervous about sleeping in their own home.

The crash happened early Sunday on Hillside Avenue.

Joanes Francois was driving a Kia Sorento North on Howard Street, according to a Springfield crash report.

Francois drove straight through the intersection, hit a curb, drove through a yard and a fence, then slammed into the backside of a garage.

Francois was charged with failure to control and OVI, according to the cash report.

Quinn Ferrell said the sound of the crash was so loud it launched him out of bed.

He said he came out to find a car into his garage.

He immediately began checking on the driver and telling his wife to call the police.
