The homeowner was sleeping down the hallway at the time of impact and recalls hearing a “tremendous crash”. Awakened by the crash, owner David Mazon ran down the hallway to check on his 4 year old grandson and 18 year old son. He then found his son trying to free the 4 year old, whose leg was trapped under the car. Once police arrived on the scene they were able to help lift the vehicle so the boy could be taken to the hospital. Both boys were treated for minor injuries and released Thursday morning.
