No other homes were damaged in the incident.

Neighbor Miguel Burgos said the mother has three daughters and all were sleeping when the car struck the house. Only she and the 5-year-old girl were injured. It wasn't known how many bedrooms were in the house.

Burgos said two of the daughters are in their late teens. The family moved in about two months ago, he said.

The investigation is ongoing.
