A car has crashed into a house in Te Puke.

A reporter at the scene said the car was "literally fully inside the house".

He said it appeared the car had crashed through a boundary fence and gone straight into the home.

Bystanders told the reporter that the car had "screamed around the corner" before it crashed.

Emergency services appeared to be treating a patient, the reporter said.
