Man drives BMW into Staten Island woman’s house on Mother’s Day

An 84-year-old Staten Island woman got an unwanted Mother’s Day surprise when a speeding driver launched his BMW 330i into her home’s sunroom early Sunday, cops said.

The unidentified man drove the silver Beemer into the woman’s house at 6000 Amboy Road around 2:30 a.m., cops said.

“I was getting back into bed after getting up to go to the bathroom,” said homeowner Beatrice Rocle. “I heard Ba-rooom! I thought the boiler burst. I opened the door and saw the car on my porch. At least nobody got killed.”

A neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, said the driver was speeding and jumped a curb before plowing into Rocle’s house.

“He was doing at least 50 mph!” the neighbor said. “He didn’t even slow down, he was flying! He was coming straight down Clearmont Avenue and he flew through the intersection right into the house.”

The neighbor said the man was driving so fast “he hit the curb and went airborne into the house.”

The man then sat in his car honking the horn before he jumped out spewing nonsense and tried to run away. At one point, his pants fell down and he ran into a fence, the neighbor said.

The man was taken to Staten Island University Hospital North with minor injuries. Charges were pending, cops said.
