'I thought we were all going to die': Video catches wild scene as Mustang slams into home

A criminal investigation is underway in Arizona after video captured a car plow through a couple's home as they sat down for dinner prior to the start of Labor Day weekend.

The Phoenix Police Department told USA TODAY the crash took place about 10:30 p.m. Friday at a house in the city's Encanto Village neighborhood, about five miles northwest of downtown.

Video shows the moment the vehicle slams into the home, right as two people appear to be getting ready to eat, and a woman close a set of curtains before the wild incident.

According to Marcus Holmberg, he and "his lady" were enjoying dinner when "a reckless driver, an 18-year-old with a 5.0 Mustang" drove through their house "because he failed at doing donuts in the street."

At the scene, police said, officers found the driver of a vehicle who they said "had collided with a home."

'I thought we were all going to die'

“I saw the Mustang come right at us,” Sabrina Rivera, who lives in the home with Holmberg, recalled, local news outlet AZ Family reported. “I thought we were all going to die."

The Phoenix Fire Department treated people for minor injuries at the scene, according to police.

The official cause of the crash was not immediately known, but police said they suspect the drive was impaired.

An 18-year-old man was arrested in on two counts of felony DUI, one count of criminal damage and one count of endangerment in connection to the crash, police reported.

No one with the driver's name was in custody on Tuesday nor was anyone with that name listed in court records.

Couple asks for help repairing Phoenix home

Over the weekend, Holmberg created a fundraising page asking for financial help to repair their home and his truck after the catastrophe.

"We are just trying to survive," Holmberg posted on the page.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the online fundraiser had raised more than $6,300 of a $30,000 goal.
