THE terrifying moment a drunk mother lost control of her car while three kids were in the back was caught on camera.
The mom, identified as Ashley Thomas-Smith, 34, was seen on surveillance footage flying into the air before crashing into a home in Long Island, New York, on Sunday.
The shocking footage taken around 6.45pm shows Thomas-Smith's white SUV speeding down the street and nearly toppling over before popping up onto the sidewalk and into a nearby home.
She reportedly smashed into the kitchen of one home before driving up onto another neighbor's lawn, where the car came to a stop.
At the time of the accident, Thomas-Smiths' three daughters – ages four, five, and eight – were all in the car, according to the New York Post.
The girls were reportedly not injured and were released to the custody of their father.
Thomas-Smith was treated for minor injuries at the hospital and has been charged with driving while intoxicated and endangering the welfare of children.
Angelica Reyes, who lives in the home Thomas-Smith smashed into, told WLNY that the accident was captured on her Nest camera.
She said she happened to be out when the accident occurred, and that the car was still partially lodged inside of her kitchen when she got back home.
"She was stuck in the car for an hour because the fridge was stuck on her door," Reyes said.
She added that despite the damage to her home, she's glad the accident occurred when it did – because she runs a daycare out of her home.
"I’m just glad that we weren’t here," Reyes said.
