Authorities say a man drove his car across several lawns and crashed into a Pennsylvania home, killing an 86-year-old woman inside.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said Friday that the 21-year-old driver is hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
The crash happened just after midnight in Franconia, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of Philadelphia.

Steele said the man turned his 1995 Toyota sedan "into a lethal weapon" when it crashed into a bedroom and trapped the woman.
Mary Lambert was pronounced dead at the scene. Steele said she lived in the home with her son.
No other injuries were reported.
