The driver of the vehicle was killed. Lt. Larry Crowson with HPD says he estimates the vehicle was going between 60-70 mph when the crash happened.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine if drugs or alcohol may have contributed to the crash.
Crowson also noted that speeding vehicles have been a problem in the neighborhood and the house that was hit was also struck by a vehicle three months ago.
