A four-year-old girl sleeping�in her bedroom has avoided injury after a car hit the wall of her house in Sydney’s south, narrowly missing her.

Residents were woken at about 4.15am on Wednesday when a black Holden Commodore drove over a footpath, knocked over a fence and smashed into�the house on Lydham Avenue in Rockdale.

The car stopped with its bonnet inside the bedroom of four-year-old Dee, who was sleeping in her bed on the opposite side of the bedroom. Dee’s mother, Francesca told Channel Nine:�”Thank God her bed is on the opposite [side of the room], so it’s literally just came straight through the wardrobe into the bedroom, and thank God she’s OK.”

Francesca said she first thought that�the sound of a “dreadful crash” might�have been that of a vehicle crashing into her car,�which was parked at the front of the house. She went out onto the porch and saw “a car sticking out through the garden into the house”.

She said she approached the male�driver, who appeared to be “delirious”. She added that the man even lit up a cigarette after the crash before fleeing.�She believed the man was possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.�She then asked the man for his licence, but he couldn’t show her one.

A NSW Police spokeswoman said officers from the�St George Local Area Command and the police dog squad immediately searched for the driver after the crash, but could not find him.

Thankfully, police said that the bedroom was not at risk of collapsing after the crash and that the vehicle was already removed from the house.

Police are now calling for anyone with information about the driver or the crash�to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
