The Toyota Kluger was allegedly being driven by a 40-year-old man when it left the road and sped across the lawn of a corner block in Mount Austin about 5.30pm on Monday.
The car eventually came to a stop on top of a rocky garden feature on the front lawn of the house located on the corner of Malaya Drive and Temerloh Avenue.
