York Regional Police released dashcam video Wednesday capturing the moment a car lost control before crashing into a home in Richmond Hill.
Officials said the incident occurred on Dec. 8 near the area of Red Maple Road and Bantry Avenue.
The video appears to show a silver Subaru speeding through the intersection and cutting off a car attempting to make a right turn.
The Subaru can be seen hopping the curb and tearing down a set of traffic lights before crashing into a house.
