ANDERSON, S.C. – Authorities in South Carolina say a father of five has been killed after a driver plowed into the bedroom of his home.

Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore tells local news outlets the man and one of his teenage children were asleep in a bedroom at around 11:15 p.m. Thursday.

South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller says 19-year-old Austin Burdette's SUV went off the road and hit a sign, a hydrant and went up an embankment before hitting the home.
