An unlicensed 16-year-old driver crashed a car into a Hilton living room last night after hitting another vehicle.

It is understood the driver of the blue Holden Commodore that hit the Rennie Crescent home went through a stop sign before crashing into a car in Paget St.

The Commodore flattened a fence before veering into the patio and the lounge room.

The female resident went to bed shortly before the crash and no one was in the room at the time.

No one was injured in the accident.

Police said the female driver of the Commodore did not have a licence.

A neighbour, who asked not to be named, said it was the second similar crash at the intersection.

He said two years ago a car ended up in his front yard and he feared someone would die at the corner if safety measures were not put in place.
