Home security footage has captured the moment a drunk driver careens his pick-up truck into a neighbour's home.
Rubin Perez can be seen speeding across a busy intersection before losing control of his car.
It bursts through the small fence in his neighbour's property and flips on its side before coming to stop in a cloud of smoke.
After around half a minute a man can be seen running from an adjacent property.
He tries to find a way to get Perez out, before using tools from the back of the truck to pry open the windscreen.
Perez finally manages to get out of the truck - but he then immediately stumbles off into the bushes.
The accident happened in the city of Des Moines, Iowa.
44-year-old Perez had allegedly been drinking and got into a fight with his son before speeding off, WHOTV reported.
Police say the damage to the house could cost $10,000 to repair - which is no comfort to owners Terry and Kim McGregor.
They said that none of Perez's family had come by to say sorry, despite the fact that they've lived in the neighbourhood for more than ten years.
However the couple are thankful that the damage wasn't any worse.
Terry said: 'The car was smoking, so could you imagine if it would have burnt up, maybe we would have lost this whole porch , and the house probably.'
Police are still seeking Perez.
