‘I heard the screaming’

What they're saying:

John Klecyngier, who lives in the neighborhood, talked about what he heard when the crash took place.

"As soon as I heard a loud bang, I saw the vehicle go right into the house. As soon as I saw that, I saw the flames, I heard the screaming. I pulled the video off my cameras and sure enough, it's the car going at an extremely high rate of speed. But again, I'm shook up, very much so, knowing the fact that I was in my shed when that happened. I'm pretty hurt that this happened in my town, my neighborhood," Klecyngier said.

Another neighbor described hearing the crash and seeing the immediate aftermath.

 "Just all of a sudden, I heard a bang from my house and came out, and there was a bunch of damage to the trees. Looks like somebody drove off the curb and into a house. Kind of interesting," he said.
