The driver then appeared to resist arrest as several cops tried to escort him to a waiting squad car.

The crash took place in the Chilean capital, Santiago, in the early hours of yesterday morning (6 Apr)

The unnamed driver was the only party involved in the accident.

While driving at excessive speed, he reportedly hit a median strip at an intersection, and his car was launched 16 feet in the air.

He then crashed through the wall and ended up in the garden, as reported by Need To Know.

As the home is currently under renovation, the family was not staying there at the time.

The driver was able to get out of the wreckage before being confronted by cops on the scene.

Police spokesperson Captain Jessica Gonzalez said he was violent towards officers while resisting arrest.

She also confirmed that the motorist had failed a breathalyser test and was under the influence of alcohol.

The investigation is ongoing.

One local said: “Reminded me of ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’.”
