“A silver Toyota Yaris had left the road and collided with the front of a home causing significant damage.

“Witnesses reported the vehicle travelling at high speed immediately prior to the collision. A 26-year-old Sydney man who held an international drivers license was taken into custody.

“He later returned a positive breath alcohol reading.”
