Police are searching for a driver who fled the scene after crashing through the front of a home in Monrovia early Thursday morning.

The incident was reported shortly after 1 a.m. in the 100 block of South Mountain Avenue, a spokesperson for the Monrovia Police Department said.


The driver had apparently been traveling on Foothill Boulevard before somehow losing control while turning onto Mountain Avenue.

The vehicle hit a curb and was launched into the home.

Video from the scene showed a blue Honda Civic had come to a stop inside the home after crashing through a wall.

The driver fled the scene after the crash, prompting officials to describe the incident as a hit-and-run.

No one inside the home was injured in the crash.

The incident remains under investigation.
