A car that crashed into an Edgewater home early Sunday morning, barely missed a person sleeping in a bedroom inside.
Firefighters with West Metro Fire Rescue responded just after 1 a.m. Sunday to the home in the 6500 block of West 26th Avenue, less than a mile west of Sloan’s Lake, District Chief Doug Hutchinson said.
The car flew through the front of the single story home and landed on its side in a bedroom, photos from West Metro Fire Rescue show.
The person sleeping inside had minor injuries and was transported to a hospital as a precaution, Hutchinson said. The driver was not injured and was released to police on scene.

The house was stable and didn’t require any supports, Hutchinson said. Authorities shut off utilities to the home as a precaution.
Cars crash into buildings fairly often, Hutchinson said.
Last weekend, a car crashed into The Hornet in Denver’s Baker neighborhood — the third time such a crash has happened at the restaurant this year. The next day, an elderly woman crashed her car into the sanctuary of a Littleton church.
