ROCHESTER - Two Franklin Heights residents had a surprise guest last night: a Toyota Camry.

The car, driven by Mark Harmon of East Rochester, plowed into their home around 9:45 p.m. Luckily, the two were in different rooms when the vehicle struck.

When Rochester Police responded they found that Harmon, 38, while attempting to park his car, crashed through a small retaining wall, a fence and finally a sliding glass door into the home.

Neither of the residents nor Harmon was injured.

The vehicle sustained front-end damage and was towed. The residence sustained damage and was attended to immediately by property management.

Neither speed nor alcohol appears to be factors, police said in a press release. The accident remains under investigation.
