A drunken taxi driver lost control and crashed his vehicle into a Ho Chi Minh City home early Sunday, seriously injuring two sleeping people.

Driver Vo Hoang Vu had driven the seven-seat Mai Linh taxi onto the sidewalk and hit a tree before the vehicle knocked down around four square meters of wall at the house on Nguyen Binh Street, Nha Be District, the local newswire Vnexpress reported.

Le Thien Chuong, 26, and his younger brother Le Thien Van, 24, were sleeping next to the wall. They were tossed across the room while three motorbikes parked near the wall were heavily damaged.

Eyewitnesses said Vu would have moved the taxi from the scene before the police came if local residents hadn’t tried to stop him. Locals said Vu was drunk and shouted at those who intervened, threatening some.

Chuong said there were two other men in the cab at the time, both drunk as well.

Police from Nha Be District are investigating the incident.
