DALLAS - Dallas Police are investigating a crash after officials say a vehicle crashed into two homes early Sunday morning in the Wolf Creek area of Dallas. 

What we know:

The crash happened around 3:15 a.m. in the 6800 block of Woodwick Dr after a vehicle was speeding down Woodwick Drive and veered off the road, driving through the yards of two Dallas homes, before hitting concrete and slamming into the front of the first Dallas home. 

A man who lives in the neighborhood said it sounded like two sonic booms as the vehicle then ricocheted off one home, went airborne and ended up wedged inside a second Dallas home. 

The home is now boarded up after crews were able to pull out the vehicle without causing any more damage to the home.

Dallas police tell FOX 4 that the driver died on scene and the passenger was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

What they're saying:

Chris Evers' 22-year-old daughter was asleep on the other side of the first home’s front wall. A wall that is now caved in and covered in debris.

"The way the bed is positioned in this room behind these two angles of the wall that saved her," said Evers. 

"We felt like we were being watched over."

The owner of the second Dallas home was Anthony Howard Jr and his wife. Howard came outside to a gaping hole in his brick garage with a Lexus wedged inside.

"This is my first home. Unfortunate events are all I can say. I am at a loss for words. I just can’t understand. It's traumatizing, yes. I just can’t disclose how I really feel," said Howard.

"People of Dallas, be very careful when you are behind the wheel."

Local perspective:

Lawrence White lives across the street from the two homes and described the troubling scene.

"It’s something I will never forget and it's not even my house. It will be deeply embedded in my mind, you know, forever," said White.

What we don't know:

The identities of the two people in the vehicle have not been released.
