One car flew over the sidewalk and then smashed right into the front of a house.

The other car landed across the street, taking down a traffic pole and stopping just feet from the front door of another home.

"The whole house shook and, frankly, we hope this is a rallying cry for speed bumps in this neighborhood because our kids are usually here and cars whip around this neighborhood," said homeowner Jo Piazza.

No one inside the home was hurt.
