Rescuers took three people to the hospital, but none of their injuries were life-threatening.

The van narrowly missed a bedroom with two children in it.

The homeowner said she heard it all and is so thankful that everyone in her family is OK. She said she does have insurance on her home and car. She is very appreciative of the work the firefighters did to get her and her family back into their home.

Firefighters took the time to help rebuild the damaged part of the home and garage so it would be safe for the family to live in until it's fully repaired.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating. Charges are pending.
