The couple, who escaped uninjured, were asleep in home and woke to the sudden noise before confronting the driver.
The owner of the house, a man known as Vic, spoke to 7 News about the accident.
‘I said “who are you, just get out” because I wanted him to get out and then my wife to get out first,’ Vic said.
‘He said to me “do you know there’s a gas leakage” and I said yes.’
According to Vic, the driver went to a neighbors home to warn them of a broken gas main as a result of the crash.
After informing the residents of the danger of a broken gas main, he then fled the scene on foot.
The damage to the home is extensive, with the front brick fence and kitchen destroyed in the crash.

The couple are without power, water and gas and have been forced to find accommodation elsewhere.
