The backstory:

The crash happened around 4:30 a.m. Aug. 16, according to homeowner Patrick Washington, who said his family was asleep when a dark-colored sedan slammed into the house.

Surveillance cameras captured the impact, with the sound of the crash heard on the family’s garage camera.

The collision caused extensive damage to the home and totaled the family’s 2025 SUV, Washington said.

Washington said the family is hoping someone will recognize the vehicle seen in the surveillance footage and help identify the driver.

Bolingbrook police said officers canvassed the neighborhood and reviewed footage from Flock cameras, but investigators were unable to identify the vehicle or driver, so the case was closed. 

What’s next:

The family is asking anyone who recognizes the vehicle or has information about the crash to contact Bolingbrook police.
