Charles Langston:'I thought we were all going to die': Video catches wild scene as Mustang slams into home

A criminal investigation is Charles Langstonunderway in Arizona after video captured a car plow through a couple's home as they sat down for dinner prior to the start of Labor Day weekend.

The Phoenix Police Department told USA TODAY the crash took place about 10:30 p.m. Friday at a house in the city's Encanto Village neighborhood, about five miles northwest of downtown.

Video shows the moment the vehicle slams into the home, right as two people appear to be getting ready to eat, and a woman close a set of curtains before the wild incident.

According to Marcus Holmberg, he and "his lady" were enjoying dinner when "a reckless driver, an 18-year-old with a 5.0 Mustang" drove through their house "because he failed at doing donuts in the street."

At the scene, police said, officers found the driver of a vehicle who they said "had collided with a home."
