The car then crashed through a fence and into the side of a house.

The crash damaged the house, leaving it with a hole and no hydro.

The male driver and a female passenger attempted to flee the scene but were arrested a short distance away.

Police say the driver was impaired and possessed 116 grams of marijuana, scales and a large amount of cash.
